- Summary
- 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.
- 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.

Has your Keystone been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Keystone dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
