The dealer will add an additional outrigger between the two tires (over the center spring hanger) and inspect the tires for damage.

Corrective Actions: Keystone will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to inspect the operation of the interior range cooktop with the furnace running. Any units affected by this problem will be repaired. To minimize the safety risk, Keystone recommends that the furnace and the range cook top should not be used at the same time before the recall repairs have been completed.
