Keystone Recalls 2018 Hideout Trailers for Incorrect Federal Placard Information

Keystone RV Company is recalling 2018 Hideout recreational trailers because the Federal Placard lists incorrect weight and tire specifications, which could lead to tire failure.

What this means for you

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 risk-of-harm product where the defect (incorrect tire pressure/size labeling) could lead to tire failure and a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2018 Hideout recreational trailers, model 310. The recall addresses an error on the Federal Placard, which incorrectly lists the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) as 5,080 lbs and the tire size as ST225/75R15D with 65 PSI. The correct specifications are a GAWR of 5,200 lbs and a tire size of ST225/75R15E with 80 PSI. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.

The incorrect label information may cause operators to underinflate the tires. This condition could result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash. The recall began on December 27, 2017.

Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 to arrange for a corrected Federal Placard, which will be provided free of charge. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-310. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
