TRAILER HITCHES
- The defect
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2022 Bullet, Outback, and Passport travel trailers. The coupler hitch may have been welded improperly, which can cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.
- What it can cause
- Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the welds, and replace the coupler if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 3, 2022. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 22-427.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,155 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Keystone vehicles have been recalled over the trailer hitches 4 times before this, most recently in January 2011 as 11V002000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 22V604000 (equipment), 22V208000 (electrical system), 22V206000 (suspension), 22V144000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Keystone RV Company with NHTSA on March 28, 2022 as campaign 22V195000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
