Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Dutchmen Aerolite trailers. The trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 9,680lbs, however, the safety chains are rated at 7,600lbs.
Risk
The lower rated safety chains may fail if the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
