The problem
Keystone is recalling certain fifth wheel trailers with a generator ready option. If the transfer switch is not installed to the proper specifications, the elevated electrical loads associated with the recreational vehicle use in higher ambient temperatures may cause overheating of the lugs and degrading of the electrical connections.
The risk
Overheating of the connections could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the transfer switch if necessary free of charge. The safety was superceded by campaign 11v-577. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
