Plain-English summary
Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2016 Retreat and Residence recreational trailers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between July 13, 2015, and September 24, 2015, for the Retreat model, and between April 2, 2015, and September 2, 2015, for the Residence model.
The recall addresses a potential insufficient weld on the rear mounting plate where the detachable A-frame is bolted. If the A-frame plate detaches from the frame while the vehicle is in motion, it can reduce vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
