Keystone Recalls 2019 Fifth Wheels and Travel Trailers for Axle Bearing Defect

Keystone RV Company is recalling 2019 Dutchmen, Keystone, and Crossroads fifth wheels and travel trailers because axles may be missing inner bearing races, which can cause bearing failure and affect vehicle handling.

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 axle bearing races) that can lead to bearing failure, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2019 Dutchmen Aerolite and Atlas, Keystone Bullet, Laredo, Cougar, Hideout, Passport and Springdale, and Crossroads Sunset fifth wheels and travel trailers. The recall involves 1,276 vehicles.

The axles on these vehicles may be missing inner bearing races on the hubs. This defect can cause the bearing to burn out or the hub to overheat. If the bearing cup is not installed, it could lead to bearing failure, which affects vehicle handling and increases the risk of a crash.

Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will inspect axles for hub clearance. If the hub clearance is not sufficient, appropriate parts will be provided to correct the defect free of charge. The recall began November 16, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
