What's wrong?
The tires on a 2017-2018 Keystone Raptor 428SP fifth-wheel trailer are supposed to rotate with clear space around the frame. The outriggers are frame supports that extend from the main trailer frame to help carry the body structure. That clearance matters because the tire sidewall and tread need room as the suspension moves over bumps and while the trailer turns.
On these Raptor trailers, the axle location was moved. That change put the tires close enough to the outriggers that the tires contact the frame supports during use. Rubbing against metal frame parts wears the tire surface and creates heat, which damages the tire and leaves the trailer with less margin for safe travel.
The warning sign is visible or audible tire rubbing on the outriggers. Look for rub marks on the tire or nearby frame support, scraping sounds, or fresh tire wear in the area where the tire passes the outrigger.

Not every 2017-2018 Keystone Raptor trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Tire contact with the outriggers can damage the tires, lead to loss of control, and increase crash risk. If you hear or see rubbing near the tires, treat it as a warning sign and call a Keystone dealer before towing the trailer again. Repair is free at any franchised Keystone dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2018 Keystone Raptor is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Keystone dealer to schedule the free outrigger-notch repair that gives the tires clearance from the door-side outriggers.
- Bring the recall notice if Keystone mailed one. Reference recall number 17V316 and Keystone recall 17-287 when you call.
- Inspect the tires and door-side outriggers before towing, and avoid towing if you see tire rubbing or tire damage.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Keystone technician cuts a notch in the bottom side of the outriggers located above the tires on the door side of the trailer. That added clearance keeps the tires from contacting the outrigger area during use. The recall repair is available now, and Keystone covers the parts and labor at no charge. Ask the dealer to confirm that the work is tied to Keystone recall 17-287 when you schedule service.
