What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (hitch rating) that could result in trailer separation and a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2017 Dutchmen Voltage toy hauler fifth wheel trailers manufactured between March 11, 2016, and June 14, 2016. The affected vehicles were incorrectly built with a 18,000 lb rated fifth wheel pin box hitch instead of the required 21,000 lb rated hitch.

If the vehicle is loaded to a weight greater than 18,000 lbs, the pin box can fail. This failure could result in the trailer separating from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Keystone notified owners, and dealers will remove and replace the pin box inner with one rated for 21,000 lbs, free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2016. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
