2011 Keystone Laredo recalls 7
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Keystone is recalling certain model year 2011 cougar and laredo travel trailers. The axles are installed backwards causing a slight reduction in braking torque and shortened brake lining service life.
- The risk
- Over time diminished braking capacity could lead to an increased risk of property damage and/or personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the axles to verify the brake wires are on the off-door side. If they are not, the axles will be removed and reversed. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on february 18, 2011. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
- The problem
- Keystone is recalling certain model year 2011 avalanche, laredo, and springdale recreational vehicles equipped with atwood 35 series range ovens. A potential exists for a small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line.
- The risk
- A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will isolate and perform a drop pressure test on the oven supply tube and if the tube leaks it will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall has started. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. This safety recall campaign is an expansion of a previous recall (please see 10v-478).
- The problem
- Keystone is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 cougar, laredo and outback travel trailers equipped with lippert component hitch couplers for lack of indentation on the forward edge of the coupler.
- The risk
- If the coupler is lacking the indent it will lead to an increased risk of trailer separation from the hitch ball while towing resulting in property damage and/or vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Owners are asked to inspect the hitch coupler for the correct stamping. If the hitch coupler is not formed correctly arrangements will be made to replace it free of charge. The safety recall began on january 24, 2011. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
- The problem
- Keystone is recalling certain model year 2011 travel trailers equipped with 15" x 6" white spoke or modular design steel wheels with a six hole bolt pattern. Some of the wheels may have inadequate weld penetration between the outer ring and the center plate due to improper plate alignment.
- The risk
- There could be a potential wheel failure and wheel loss increasing the risk of a crash, or personal injury.
- The fix
- Keystone will replace the wheels free of charge. The safety recall began on december 15, 2010. Owners may contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
- The problem

- The risk

- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- 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.
- The fix
- 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.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
The driver side main support beam that runs the entire length of the trailer from front to back cracked. Also, many of the support beams that run the width of the trailer were twisted and nearly falling off. We had to replace the entire main support beam on the driver side as well as smaller supports that ran the width of the trailer. The first repair was in June 2022 for the smaller support beams. The second repair was in April 2023 for the long, driver side support beam.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 keystone laredo travel trailer. The contact stated that while parked, the rear lippert stabilizer jack failed to activate without warning. The contact stated that it took several attempts to activate the stabilizer jack. The failure recurred on several occasions until the jack no longer worked. The trailer was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the motor for the stabilizer jack failed and needed to be replaced. The trailer was not repaired.
