Cougar 29FKD Outriggers

KeystoneeBay is conducting a voluntary RECALL notification campaign in accordance with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Act. It has been decided that on certain Cougar 29FKD Travel Trailers, the tires may come in contact with an outrigger. Under certain conditions during travel, if the tires make contact with the outrigger causing a tire blow out, it can lead to an increased risk of personal injury or vehicle crash.

Parts Required:

Tools Required:

Note – Check serial number on Key Express to verify the campaign is open. Some vehicles were repaired before they left KeystoneeBay.

When performing warranty or recall service, please make certain that appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used.

The remedy is to inspect both front tires and check for damage. Cut out the outrigger at each front tire to allow for minimum of 3” of clearance, then add the bolt-on outrigger above the center spring hanger on each side of the unit.

 

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Unload the cargo area, empty the fresh and holding tanks. The trailer must be unloaded in order to get an accurate measurement between the tire and the outrigger.

 

Step 2

Locate the trailer on a level, flat, hard surface. Chock the wheels.

 

Step 4

In between the wheels and above the middle spring hanger on both sides of the frame, add KRV # 501127 – Frame – Outrigger – Bolt On – 13.50″ x 6.88″ x 1.5″ using (3) ¼” – 14 x 1” self-drilling hex screws into the frame rail and (1) 3/8” x 1 ½” lag bolt in the outer-most hole of the floor, see Figure 2.

 

Step 5

Proceed to warranty reimbursement.
