2018–2019 Dutchmen Aerolite recall: equipment
⚠️ 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.
💥 The risk
The lower rated safety chains may fail if the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
