Details
What's wrong: The rear bumper, which holds the spare tire assembly, may experience metal fatigue causing the spare tire to separate from the vehicle.
Why it matters: Over time, the bumper may fail and/or separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of personal injury and property damage.
The fix: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement kit free of charge. The safety recall began on September 28, 2012.
