Keystone Recalls 2018 Raptor and Carbon Trailers for Fuel Fire Risk

Keystone is recalling 2018 Raptor and Carbon fifth-wheel trailers because missing fuel barriers allow absorption into the floor, increasing fire risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (missing fuel barrier) that creates a risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury or property-damage reports or structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2018 Keystone Carbon and Raptor recreational fifth-wheel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured without a protective barrier in the fuel station, which is designed to prevent fuel from being absorbed into the main floor.

The absence of this barrier allows fuel to be absorbed into the main floor, which can increase the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source. The recall affects 423 units.

Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers and install a protective barrier if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
