Keystone is recalling 2016-2017 fifth wheel trailers because rear cargo door hinge welds may be insufficient, causing the door to swing down with excessive force.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a vehicle component that poses a risk of injury to individuals in the path of the door, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2017 Keystone Carbon and Raptor fifth wheel recreational trailers, as well as 2016-2017 Fuzion and Dutchmen Voltage fifth wheel recreational trailers. The recall involves 1,608 vehicles.

The affected vehicles have rear cargo door hinges with welds on the hinge pin and hinge plate that may be insufficient. As a result, the top of the door may swing down with more force than normal. If the door does not open as expected, there is an increased risk of injury to those in the door's path.

Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ramp door hinge free of charge. The recall began on January 13, 2017. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
