Dutchmen Aero Lite Recall 18V448: Wrong Rim Size on Label Could Lead to Unsafe Replacement

NHTSA campaign 18V448, reported July 5, 2018, 83 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The Federal Certification Label on certain 2018-2019 Dutchmen Aerolite trailers (models 2133RB and 2423BH) lists a rim size of 14X5.5J, but the correct rim size is 14X5J. The vehicles therefore do not meet the labeling requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.

Because the label gives the wrong rim size, an owner could replace a rim with an incorrect size. That could increase the risk of a crash.

Keystone RV Company will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Federal Certification Label with a corrected one at no charge. Owners can contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 (recall number 18-325), and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
