The defect
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2013 Bullet and Passport trailers manufactured October 1, 2012, through March 5, 2013. The mounting fasteners for the stabilizer jacks may fail causing the jack to become loose and separate from the vehicle.
The risk
If the fasteners fail and the jack separates from the vehicle, it would become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting fasteners. The recall is expected to begin in August 2013. Owners may contact Keystone Customer Service by calling 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's recall number is 13-196.
