Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2011 travel trailers, including the Cougar, Sprinter, Laredo, Outback, Hornet, Energy, and Springdale models. The recall affects units equipped with 15" x 6" white spoke or modular design steel wheels with a six-hole bolt pattern.
