2007 Keystone Outback & 2007 Keystone Springdale recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain travel trailers equipped with tekonsha emergency brake breakaway switches sold by cequent, an electrical switching component may cause the breakaway device to fail or to operate improperly.
💥 The risk
In the case of a separation of the trailer from the towing vehicle, a failure of the breakaway switch may prevent the trailer brakes from activating possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the breakaway switches free of charge. These trailers are still located at the keystone rv manufacturing facility or in the possession of dealers.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
