It's not only Keystone.
It's for Dexter #11 4.4K axles made and shipped to manufacturers between June and Aug 2018. Before everyone gets panties in knots ask yourself a question? How does a trailer with 4.4K axles get to the dealer. It's not on a flatbed or drop trailer, its pulled by truck. Smaller trailers that get loaded on flats are not going to have 4.4K axles. No trailer missing an inner race is going to complete that trip to the dealer.
Most likely one hub was found by a manufacturer missing a race and they notified Dexter. Dexter then had to notify everyone they shipped that production run of axles to. Those manufacturers then had to issue recalls per fed requirements and as a CYA, as they have no way of telling if there are others no matter how unlikely it would have ever made it to the destination.

How is Dexter axles not being mentioned? They make the axles. It was one of their people who didn't install the bearings in the axle properly before being shipped to Lippert. Speaking of which, why isn't this recall industry wide?
Isn't Dexter now owned by Lippert???
Man I hope not because say what you want about Dexter and this recall, but they beat out Lippert by a country mile in every aspect of anything LOL.
Dexter had purchased AL-KO awhile ago and is now changing their overall business presence to DEXKO.
Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?
