Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
This was part of a prior recall. Vehicle Information : Keystone RV Company SEP 29, 2022 22V-726 22-437. We had it repaired because we lost our footpad shortly after purchasing the trailer. The recall was issued in 2022. Memorial Day weekend 2024 the exact same footpad came off again after supposedly being repaired at the dealership. It caused tire damage that had to be replaced. Luckily no one was injured.
