- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Affected:
- 4,770
- Defect:
- Keystone is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. the population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. the response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- Consequence:
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- Correction:
- Keystone is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. the recall began on december 10, 2010. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or keystone at 866-425-4369.

- Campaign:
- 11V577000 on 12/07/2011
- Component:
- Electrical system
- Affected:
- 6,101
- Defect:
- 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 above 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.
- 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.
- Correction:
- 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 began on february 24, 2012. owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
