Defect. Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Cougar 29FKD travel trailers. Improper clearance may allow the tires to contact the outrigger, causing damage to the tires.
Risk. Damaged tires can fail, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Dealers will notch the existing outrigger and install an additional outrigger between the two tires to provide proper clearance, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 12, 2022. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 22-430.

Filed May 24, 20211,990 vehiclesKeystone Rv Company
Defect. Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Keystone Cougar 368MBI trailers. The frame rails do not have enough cross support, which could cause them to buckle under certain side-load stress conditions.

On XXX between 11 am to 2pm, I was driving [XXX] to [XXX], via [XXX], and at rest area [XXX], I stopped for fueling truck and getting something to eat with family. After stopping at the parking site for trailer, I noticed that the RV box on the front above the gooseneck, was touching the top of my truck trunk. I use a fifth wheel gooseneck and tow from the center of my truck/trunk bed, and we usually have about 2 inch gap between rv and truck, but at this time there was no gap, the weight of RV was on top the truck back side panels. The Lippert frame welds were broken. I have to call a 50 ton truck crane to tow RV to closest Camping World dealer at Fort Pierce. I was lucky that my 12,000 lb RV trailer did not disconnected, I could have killed my family in a hard brake, or someone in the highway if the trailer gets disconnected (the safety chains nor the emergency brake would have stop it to fall and rollover). My family (wife and kids) are psychologically affected and will not ride a truck towing and RV again, and I will not do either. I opened a claim with insurance Progressive (Claim#XXX), but they have denied any coverage saying manufacturer's defect are not covered by any policy. However they have failed to provide written report demonstrating it is defect. I opened Work Order #XXX, with the reseller, Camping World, but they have not being helpful, I left the RV at their parking lot and visit them in person to open my request for inspection and coverage, they refused to a

I BOUGHT THIS KEYSTONE TRAILER NEW IN AUGUST OF 2020. THE TIRES ONLY HAD 400 MILES OF USE BEFORE THIS TRIP. I EQUIPPED MY TRAILER WITH TIRE MINDER SYSTEM TO MONITOR TIRE PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRE JUST EXPLODED AND CAME APART. DAMAGING MY TRAILER.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
