Critical riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Keystone. On certain travel trailers, the hitch couplers may be lacking an indentation on the forward edge of the coupler. If the coupler is lacking the indent, it will lead to an increased risk of trailer separation from the hitch ball while towing.

Correction: Owners will be advised to inspect the hitch coupler for the correct stamping. If the hitch coupler is not formed correctly Keystone RV will make arrangements to replace it. *** IMPORTANT - DO NOT tow the trailer until it is confirmed you have a correctly formed coupler *** Published 2011-03-01.
