2011 Keystone Cougar & 2011 Keystone Laredo recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Keystone is recalling certain model year 2011 Cougar and Laredo travel trailers. The axles are installed backwards causing a slight reduction in braking torque and shortened brake lining service life.
💥 The risk
Over time diminished braking capacity could lead to an increased risk of property damage and/or personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the axles to verify the brake wires are on the off-door side. If they are not, the axles will be removed and reversed. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on february 18, 2011. Owners may contact keystone customer service 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.)
