Recall 20V715000 (18/11/2020): STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Outback 335CG and 340BH recreational trailers. A section of the frame rail may have inadequate support where the draw bar is attached, allowing the frame rail to buckle.
Fix: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will add reinforcement plates to the existing frame, free of charge. The recall began December 15, 2020. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 20-391.
What a tech checks: Roof sealant, seams, window and slide seals, and the frame. Water intrusion shows up as delamination, soft floors and stained ceilings months after the leak started. Before you buy: Press the sidewalls and walk the floor; look at every seam and seal.

Tires: 1 recall
Recall 20V491000 (19/08/2020): TIRES
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2021 Outback travel trailers. The Federal Identification Tag incorrectly states that the tire pressure should be 65 PSI, when the correct tire pressure is 80 PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Fix: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Federal Identification Tag, free of charge. The recall began August 25, 2020. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 20-384.
What a tech checks: Age, load range and pressure. RV tires age out before they wear out, and an underrated tire on a heavy trailer is a blowout waiting to happen. Before you buy: Read the DOT date and the load range on the sidewall.
