Keystone is recalling certain model year 2011 Avalanche, Laredo, and Springdale recreational vehicles equipped with Atwood 35 series range ovens. A potential exists for a small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line.
Consequence:
A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Remedy:
Dealers will isolate and perform a drop pressure test on the oven supply tube and if the tube leaks it will be preplaced free of charge. The safety recall has started. Owner s May contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. This safety recall campaign is an expansion of a previous recall (please see 10V-478).

We have a 2011, thirty-eight and half foot, Keystone- Alavalanche with 4 slides that drift out. They move even when it is sitting in the yard. It was in the shop this summer and the dealer replaced the hydraulic pump and thought that was the problem. We took it on a summer trip where we would have to stop each traveling day to recyle the slides to keep them closed. The dealer says they are working with Lipert to fix the problem, but it’s been in the shop over three weeks and the problem is not yet resolved. Has anyone else had the same problem? If so, how was it fixed?
