Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Unknown or Other · reported Jul 31, 2015
The fresh water tank in the rear of the trailer fell down and was sitting right on the rear axel. We opened up the bottom cover of the trailer and noticed that the bars used to support the tank were all bent and a few of them had popped off from the frame. We were able to jack up the tank and repair the damage by ourselves because we were out of town and the dealership would take months to fix this and then charge us a hefty amount to fix it. We repaired it ourselves for by replacing the flimsy metal bars with multiple uni-strut bars to support the water tank. Updated 09/15/15
Electrical System · at 2,000 miles · reported Apr 6, 2014
2010 keystone fuzion II 5th wheel unit. Had transfer switch repaired under recall. Had several items repaired, I.e. Light fixtures, rear ramp wiring, holding tank valve replacements and repairs, tire failures. Issue now is a warning light in the main fuse panel indicating a blown fuse. Upon contacting manufacturer, the customer service rep indicates that there is no type of standard wiring, piping or other diagrams to troubleshoot any of these systems, although a warning light would mean a short in a wiring system. The cost of taking unit to dealer for repairs is born by the owner. Dealers…

The rear right side of the fresh water tank fell down while traveling, and began dragging on the road. The metal u-channel supports under the tank bent down, and begun breaking the tap screws on each end, or pulling them through the frame. Of the 5 supports under the tank, two pulled loose from both ends, two pulled loose on one end, and only one, the left strap next to the plumbing connections, was still attached on both ends. The loose supports were pinned between the tank and the bottom cover, and one of the supports was ground down by the pavement, which saved damage to the tank, which was…
Electrical System · reported Jan 4, 2013
I have received a recall notice for a default in a iota its-50r transfer switch. These switches are experiencing heat related failures. Warning continued use without replacing increases risk of fire, personal injury and property damage. I have contacted the manufacturer for repair. I informed them that the unit is permanently set and not able to be taken to a authorized dealer. I was informed that they would not provide a mobile service to do the repair. I do not know if your organization can be of any help in persuading them to change their position in providing a mobile service to do repair.…
Tires · reported Oct 6, 2012
This is concerning tires being used on the keystone fuzion. The brand of tire is carlisle and the tire that I AM having problems with is the ultra crt radial trail, size st235/80r16. I had one tire show severe signs of side wall and tread wall separation so it was replaced. During a short trip, I had a blow out on another tire. I have since had it replaced as well, and I AM also working on replacing the rest. A short internet search on this tire shows numerous complaints with blow outs. Not only can this cause loss of control, but this is a danger to other motorists with flying debris after a…
