2020 Hideout 290LHS

Received in an email from RV Travel:

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2020 Hideout 290LHS recreational trailers. These vehicles were incorrectly built with 3500 pound axles and ST205/75R14D tires and rims rather than the 4400 pound axles and ST225/75R15D tires and rims as specified on the Federal Identification Tag. The incorrect axle, tires and rims can result in the operator overloading the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect axle, tires, and rims with 4400 pound axles, ST225/75R15D tires and matching rims, free of charge. The recall began October 16, 2020. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone’s number for this recall is 20-388.

Holy smokes, that's not a little mess up like a series of trailers with poorly attached trim parts that fall off. That's a massive mistake that's gonna costs ungodly amounts of money to rectify. I wonder how many units they made that mistake on?

According to the Keystone website recall notice section, this recall involves trailers with VIN 2020 L7242323 - L7242332, so a total of nine (9) trailers involved. https://www.keystonerv.com/media/915...-axles-web.pdf

It's not a "massive recall" that's going to bankrupt the manufacturer. It does, however create the question: Why/how did it happen?
