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

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.
