What this recall means for you
Some 2015 towable and motorized RV models have screws that attach the expanding room to its sliding mechanism cable that may fail. If this happens, the room can extend on its own while the vehicle is moving.
An unintended room extension while driving increases the risk of a crash. Owners should stop using the room extension feature and have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
Dealers will replace the screws that secure the drive chain at no cost to you. Contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 (recall number 15-225) and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
