Details

What's wrong: On certain model rp3612 ds fw fifth wheel recreational vehicles, cracking in the steel surrounding the pinbox (Hitch) can occur. The cracks are specifically in the attachment welds between the pinbox and the surrounding frame structure.

Why it matters: This can cause partial or complete separation of the pinbox from the frame increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the pinbox with an air-ride pinbox. Owner notification began February 23, 2004. Owners should contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
