What NHTSA recorded

Keystone is recalling certain 2011 alpine, avalanche, fuzion, laredo, montana, and mountaineer fifth wheel trailers manufactured from august 19, 2010 through september 1, 2010, equipped with dexter axles. On some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.

Possible consequence

These cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle, creating a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash to other vehicles, and compromises the driver's control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Keystone will notify owners and dealers will inspect the axle serial number and replace it if it falls within the serial number range. Replacement of the axle will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on september 24, 2010. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
