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 structural defect where a component may detach, increasing the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2018 Passport recreational trailers, including models 153ML, 171EXP, 175BH, 195RB, 199ML, 217EXP, and 239ML. The recall involves 977 vehicles.

The defect involves the spare tire carrier, which may not have been mounted properly to the back wall of the trailer. As a result, the spare tire and carrier may detach from the trailer while it is being towed, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the spare tire carrier mounting and install reinforcing backers if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 14, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
