Keystone Dutchmen Voltage 2017 Trailer Hitches Recall: Risk of Trailer Separation
Keystone is recalling 2017 Dutchmen Voltage toy hauler trailers with faulty 18,000 lb pin boxes that could cause trailer separation under heavy loads. Owners must have the pin box replaced with a 21,000 lb rated hitch.
Use caution until it’s fixed
If the vehicle is loaded to a weight greater than 18,000 lbs, the pin box can fail, possibly resulting in the trailer separating from the tow vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
What happened, in plain English
Keystone is recalling certain 2017 Dutchmen Voltage toy hauler trailers that were built with a 18,000 lb rated pin box instead of the required 21,000 lb rating. This could cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle when loaded over 18,000 lbs, increasing crash risk.

How to tell if you have this one
Check if your 2017 Dutchmen Voltage toy hauler trailer was manufactured between March 11, 2016 and June 14, 2016. The trailer has a 18,000 lb rated pin box instead of the 21,000 lb rated hitch.
