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: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting the recreational trailer's frame. The rubric identifies structural vehicle defects as meeting the criteria for Severe (score 4) classification. The frame rail's inadequate support and potential for buckling present a credible risk of frame failure and crash.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2019–2021 model year Keystone Outback recreational trailers, specifically the 335CG and 340BH variants. Approximately 1,296 units are potentially affected.
