What happened

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2016-2017 Alpine and Avalanche fifth-wheel recreational trailers because the Federal Placard on these vehicles contains incorrect spare tire load range information. If an operator inflates the spare tire based on this incorrect information, the tire may become overinflated, which increases the risk of tire failure.

Owners of affected trailers should contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 to have the Federal Placard replaced free of charge at an authorized dealer. The recall began on January 17, 2017, and Keystone's recall number is 17-275.
