Certain fifth wheel trailers may have been manufactured with axle springs that were rated for 4400 lbs. Per axle instead of 52OO lbs.

Dealers will inspect and replace the axle spring with springs rated at 5200 lbs. Per axle free of charge. The recall began on july 10, 2006. Owners may contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
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.)
