Recall 11V-577: 2010–2011 Keystone Alpine, 2010–2011 Keystone Avalanche and 7 more
KEYSTONE RV COMPANY recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Dec 8, 2011, covering about 6,101 vehicles.
The problem
Keystone has revised their remedy process and is again recalling certain 2009-2011 vehicles with the âgenerator readyâ 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.
The risk
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.
The fix
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.
