What's wrong
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Dutchmen Aerolite trailers. The trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 9,680lbs, however, the safety chains are rated at 7,600lbs.
Consequence
The lower rated safety chains may fail if the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 7,600lb rated chains with 11,700lb rated chains, free of charge. The recall began August 16, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 18-326.
