The problem
Certain keystone travel and fifth wheel trailers fail to comply with the requirements of part 567, "certification," the information provided on the federal identification tag and tire and loading information label is incorrect.
The risk
Overloading the tires can lead to tire failure increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Keystone will mail the corrected tag to consumers or the customer will have the option for dealers to install the label for them free of charge. The recall began on october 22, 2009. Owners may contact keystone 1-866-425-4369.
