Keystone Recalls 2016-2017 Passport Trailers Due to Axle Defect

Keystone RV Company is recalling specific 2016-2017 Passport trailers because they were built with axles that have lower capacity than required, increasing the risk of axle failure and a crash.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle capacity) that can lead to axle failure and a crash, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Passport recreational trailers, specifically model 3350BHWE, manufactured between January 6, 2016, and April 21, 2016. The recall involves the rear non-powered axle assembly.

The defect exists because these trailers were built with axles that have a 3,500-pound capacity instead of the required 4,400-pound capacity. If the vehicle is loaded to its listed specifications, the incorrect axle may become overloaded and fail, which increases the risk of a crash.

Keystone has notified owners, and dealers will replace the axle free of charge. The recall began on May 16, 2016. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
