STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Cougar 29FKD travel trailers. Improper clearance may allow the tires to contact the outrigger, causing damage to the tires.
- What it can cause
- Damaged tires can fail, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will notch the existing outrigger and install an additional outrigger between the two tires to provide proper clearance, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 12, 2022. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 22-430.
- 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 513 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Keystone vehicles have been recalled over the structure 17 times before this, most recently in January 2022 as 22V015000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2019, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V169000 (structure), 22V604000 (equipment), 22V383000 (equipment), 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 31, 2022 as campaign 22V209000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
