The problem
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2016 Retreat recreational trailers manufactured July 13, 2015, to September 24, 2015, and model year 2016 Residence recreational trailers manufactured April 2, 2015, to September 2, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with an insufficient weld on the rear mounting plate that the detachable A-frame is bolted to.
The risk
If the A-Frame plate detaches from the frame while the vehicle is in motion it can reduce vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.

Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the welds and repair them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 22, 2015. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 15-238.
