Keystone Challenger, Everest +4 more: Wheels

Affects Keystone Challenger, Everest, Sprinter, Mountaineer, Big Sky, Montana · 2007 — about 61 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers were manufactured with 16 inch steel wheels that may leak at the valve stem during inflation or when checking air pressure, due to improper seating of the valve stem. Some models have aluminium wheels with a steel spare and only the spare is affected. Towing a vehicle with under inflated tires can result in tire failure, increasing the risk of property damage and a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the snap-in valve stem with a bolt-in version.
