Keystone recall: Trailer hitches
What is wrong
Keystone is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 cougar, laredo and outback travel trailers equipped with lippert component hitch couplers for lack of indentation on the forward edge of the coupler.
What could happen
If the coupler is lacking the indent it will lead to an increased risk of trailer separation from the hitch ball while towing resulting in property damage and/or vehicle crash.
The fix
Owners are asked to inspect the hitch coupler for the correct stamping. If the hitch coupler is not formed correctly arrangements will be made to replace it free of charge. The safety recall began on january 24, 2011. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
