What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (pin box fasteners) that can lead to vehicle detachment and a crash, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a score of 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2025 Arcadia and Cougar trailers equipped with Curt Helux Pin Boxes. The recall addresses a defect where the pin box fasteners may have been improperly tightened.

If the fasteners loosen and fall out, the towed vehicle can detach from the pin box, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injury or crash reports are detailed in the source text, but the potential for vehicle detachment represents a significant safety hazard.

Dealers will tighten the pin box fasteners free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 10, 2025. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Keystone's recall number is 24-459.
