Keystone RV recalls some ’25, ’26 trailers for shock bolts issue

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2024 Cougar, 2025-2026 Alpine, 2026 Montana, and Walkabout trailers. The shock bolts may have been incorrectly tightened. Improperly torqued shock bolts may damage or break the bolt if over-torqued and may vibrate loose if under-torqued.

The recall notice was issued May 18.

Under certain conditions during travel, the vehicle may experience excessive bouncing or swaying with decreased stability, leading to an increased risk of a vehicle crash.

Indications of a problem may be a clunking or rattling noise while traveling over bumps, or visibly damaged components.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the shock bolts, free of charge. The remedy replaces the existing shock bolts with a higher-grade bolt kit while outlining specific torque requirements.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 1, 2026. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone’s number for this recall is 26-483.
