2001 Keystone Springdale recalls

Recall 07V-134: Equipment

Reported Mar 22, 2007 · 122,162 vehicles affected · KEYSTONE RV COMPANY

Problem: Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in certain tubing in the refrigerator which could allow pressurized flammable coolant solution to be released into an area where an ignition source (Gas flame) is present.

Risk: This could result in a fire.

Fix: Keystone rv will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burner housing and thermal fuses free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign.

Recall 03V-463: Equipment

Reported Nov 12, 2003 · 3,641 vehicles affected · KEYSTONE RV COMPANY

Problem: On certain travel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these ovens were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.

Risk: An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.

Fix: Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800-932-3837 or keystone at 574-535-2100.

Equipment · reported Nov 4, 2009
A few days ago I got a call from the rv park where my unit is parked, and was told my unit has burnt to the ground. After doing some research I found the web site showing various recalls relating to dometic refrigerators. I could not locate the tags showing the model and serial number to see if this fire could be related to the recalls. I called the keystone manufacture and they verified my unit serial number fell under the recall. The fire chief investigating the fire stated this was a standard rv fire originating in the refrigerator area (Report will be available in a few days).
