SamAlert: Keystone Recalls Continue!

Good Sam

January 31, 2012

NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 11V577000

Component: Electrical System

Potential number of units affected: 6,101

Summary: Keystone has revised their remedy process and is again recalling certain 2009-2011 vehicles with the “generator ready” option, or with standard generator. See the list below for the affected models. Some IOTA ITS-50R transfer switches are experiencing failures when exposed to high electrical loads. The failure is causing connections and wiring in the transfer switch to degrade and over heat.

Affected Models:

Keystone Alpine (2010-2011)

Keystone Avalanche (2010-2011)

Keystone Challenger (2009-2010)

Keystone Everest (2009-2010)

Keystone Fuzion (2009-2011)

Keystone Montana (2009-2011)

Keystone Montana Big Sky (2009)

Keystone Montana High Country (2010-2011)

Keystone Montana-big Sky (2009-2011)

Keystone Montana-mountaineer (2010-2011)

Consequence: Continued use of the vehicle without replacing the transfer switch may damage other appliances, increase the risk of a fire, personal injury, and property damage.

Remedy: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transfer switch, free of charge. The remedy for the previous recall (10V-594) was to inspect and tighten the switch connections. The safety recall was schedule to begin during January. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.
