What's wrong?
The tires on a 2022 Keystone Cougar fifth wheel carry the trailer's weight and help keep it stable while it is being towed. Each tire has a load range, which is the weight rating the tire is built to carry safely. For these Cougar trailers, Keystone specified ST225/75R15E tires.
Affected trailers were built with Load Range "D" ST225/75R15 tires rated at 2540 lbs instead of Load Range "E" ST225/75R15 tires rated at 2860 lbs. Keystone traced the problem to tires that were improperly labeled and supplied by the vendor. That left the trailer with tires below the intended load rating for the unit.
There is no warning sign before failure. The practical clue is the sidewall marking: affected tires show Load Range D where the trailer specification calls for Load Range E.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect load range tires allow the Cougar to be loaded beyond the tire rating, increasing the risk of a crash. Avoid loading the trailer near its weight limit until the tires are inspected, and schedule the tire inspection and replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Keystone dealer.
