The defect
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019 Keystone Montana recreational trailers. The axles may have defective welds on the spindles, potentially resulting in a spindle and wheel assembly detaching from the axle.
The risk
If the spindle or wheel assembly detaches from the axle, it can affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.
