Problem Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Dutchmen Voltage trailers, model 4185. An 18,000 lb.-capacity fifth wheel pin box may have been installed instead of the specified 21,000 lb-capacity pin box hitch. Risk If the vehicle is loaded to a weight greater than 18,000 lbs, the pin box may fail, increasing the risk of crash. Fix Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the pin box inner with a pin box inner rated for 21,000 lbs, free of charge. The recall began June 18, 2019. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 19-354.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 19-354 is the number Dutchmen assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 19V396000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
