Details

What's wrong: On certain travel trailers and fifth wheel recreational vehicles equipped with tredit 16" chrome wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.

Why it matters: The center of the wheel could separate from the rim. The wheel may wobble and cause a vibration or the mounted tire could lose air causing the tire to go flat, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Keystone is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced. The recall began on February 15, 2006.
