Montana fifth wheel RVs recalled: underbelly may detach, cause crash

Keystone RV is recalling certain 2026 Montana fifth wheel trailers. Under certain conditions during travel, the underbelly may come loose or detach from the vehicle, leading to an increased risk of a vehicle crash.

The underbelly may not be secured sufficiently enough to prevent separation from the frame. An indication that the underbelly may detach may be that it appears loose or show signs of separation from the frame.

Remedy

Dealers will install C-channels and I-beams to secure the underbelly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 28. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.

Keystone’s number for this recall is 26-482. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning May 28, 2026.

Sounds like Keystone has some loose screws within its organization.
