What this recall means for you
Certain trailers have U-bolts that may not have been properly torqued at the factory. Over time these bolts can loosen, allowing the axle to move out of position on the leaf springs.
If the axle shifts, handling can become poor, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should not wait to have this checked.
The repair is free: an authorized dealer will properly tighten the U-bolts. Keystone will notify affected owners, or you can contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 (recall number 21-394). You can also check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
