SUMMARY:
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2016 Retreat recreational trailers manufactured July 13, 2015, to September 24, 2015, and model year 2016 Residence recreational trailers manufactured April 2, 2015, to September 2, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with an insufficient weld on the rear mounting plate that the detachable A-frame is bolted to.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the A-Frame plate detaches from the frame while the vehicle is in motion it can reduce vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the welds and repair them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 16, 2015. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 15-238.
SUMMARY:

CONSEQUENCE:
Insufficient spacing between the exhaust pipe and the floor may result in the insulation melting and an increased risk of a fire.
REMEDY:
Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will change the configuration of the exhaust to provide extra clearance between it and the floor, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Note: Although these vehicles may have been previously repaired for this condition under recall number 11V-416, it is important that the affected vehicles receive the revised remedy of this recall.

The affected trailers are equipped with Tire and Loading labels that list incorrect tire pressure information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."
CONSEQUENCE:
If an owner inflates the tires to the incorrect pressure listed on the label, the tire may be overinflated, and a tire blow out may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

In the affected vehicles, the high pressure liquid propane (LP) hose may harden and result in an LP leak at the crimp fitting.
CONSEQUENCE:
