Recall 17V827 covers 12 2018 Keystone Hideout recreational trailers with incorrect axle-rating and tire-pressure labels. Corrected Federal Placard is free from Keystone.
Keystone is recalling 12 2018 Hideout recreational trailers because the federal placard lists the wrong gross axle weight rating, tire size, and tire pressure. Using those numbers can leave the tires underinflated, which increases the risk of tire failure and a crash; Keystone dealers will install corrected labels free of charge.

What's wrong?
The Federal placard on a 2018 Keystone Hideout is the label that tells an owner, dealer, or inspector the trailer's axle rating, tire size, and tire pressure. That information matters because the tires and axles have to match the load the trailer is built to carry.
On affected Hideout trailers, the placard was printed with the wrong ratings. It lists a Gross Axle Weight Rating of 5,080 lbs, tire size ST225/75R15D, and 65 PSI. The correct information is 5,200 lbs, tire size ST225/75R15E, and 80 PSI. The trailer itself is not being described as having the wrong axle or tires; the problem is the certification label telling owners the wrong setup.
An owner can spot the issue by comparing the Federal Identification Tag with the axle tag and the tires. The warning sign is a mismatch: the axle rating and tire load range on the label do not match the axle tag and the tires mounted on the trailer.

Not every 2018 Keystone Hideout trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect federal label can lead an owner to set tire pressure too low. Underinflated tires are more likely to fail, which increases crash risk. Compare the Federal Identification Tag, axle tag, and tire load range on the tires before loading or inflating the trailer. Repair is free at any franchised Keystone dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Keystone Hideout is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Keystone dealer to get the corrected Federal Placard free of charge.
- Replace the incorrect placard so the tire size, tire pressure, and axle-weight information match Keystone's recall repair.
- Bring the recall notice if Keystone mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V827 when you call.
- Avoid using the old placard for tire pressure or tire size until the corrected label is in place.
What happens at the repair
For recall 17V827, Keystone has already notified owners and provided a corrected Federal Placard free of charge. The service step is a label correction: the incorrect placard is replaced with one showing the correct axle rating, tire size, and tire pressure information for the 2018 Hideout model 310. The corrected placard is free under the recall. If your trailer still has the old placard, contact Keystone customer service or a Keystone dealer and ask for the corrected recall placard for campaign 17V827.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 17V827?
Recall 17V827 covers 12 2018 Keystone Hideout model 310 recreational trailers with an incorrect Federal Placard. The label lists the GAWR as 5,080 lbs and tire size as ST225/75R15D at 65 PSI, instead of 5,200 lbs and ST225/75R15E at 80 PSI.
What should I do if my 2018 Keystone Hideout is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 17V827. If it is, make sure the corrected Federal Placard is installed. If you never received the corrected placard, contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 and reference recall 17V827.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Keystone provided the corrected Federal Placard free of charge under this recall. Federal recall rules require the manufacturer to fix the defect at no cost, and Keystone's remedy for recall 17V827 is the replacement certification label.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk in recall 17V827 is tire underinflation from the wrong label information. If an owner follows the incorrect placard, the tires can be underinflated for the trailer's correct rating, which increases the risk of tire failure and a crash.
What warning signs should I watch for?
The recall does not list a specific warning sign before tire failure. Treat the placard information as the problem. Confirm that your trailer has the corrected GAWR, tire size, and 80 PSI label before relying on the certification placard for tire inflation.
