Summary: ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 16", 6-BOLT ALUMINUM WHEEL OPTION WITH 5.5" BOLT CIRCLES, FOREIGN MATERIAL MAY BE PRESENT IN THE 'CLAMP JOINT' "MATING SURFACE BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND HUB FACE. THIS CAN HINDER THE PROPER TORQUE OF THE LUG NUTS IF THE NUTS ARE NOT INSTALLED WITH THE PROPER TORQUE DURING MANUFACTURE, RE-TIGHTENED DURING THE INITIAL 'SEATING IN' PERIOD AND/OR THERE IS A FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
Consequence: IF THE LUG NUTS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT TORQUE, THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE ALL PAINT AND FOREIGN MATERIAL FROM THE WHEEL AND HUB MATING SURFACE. THEN THE LUG NUTS WILL BE PROPERLY TORQUED. THE RECALL BEGAN SEPTEMBER 7, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE AT 1-574-535-2100.
