Problem Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Passport recreational trailers, model 3350BHWE, manufactured January 6, 2016, to April 21, 2016. These trailers were built with axles that have a 3500 pound capacity instead of being built with axles that have a 4400 pound capacity. Risk If the vehicle is loaded to the specifications listed, the incorrect axle may be overloaded and fail as a result, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Keystone has notified owners, and dealers will replace the axle, free of charge. The recall began May 16, 2016. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 16-252.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 16-252 is the number Keystone assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V291000 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.

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Common questions

Which vehicles does 16-252 cover?

2016–2017 Keystone Passport, 21 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 16-252 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
