Plain-English summary
Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2009-2011 Keystone Fuzion, Montana, Montana-Mountaineer, Montana-Big Sky, Montana High Country, Challenger, Alpine, Everest, and Avalanche recreational vehicles. This recall affects vehicles equipped with the “Generator Ready” option or a standard generator. The recall began on February 24, 2012, and is a revision to a previous remedy process.
The defect involves certain IOTA ITS-50R transfer switches that may fail when exposed to high electrical loads. This failure causes connections and wiring within the transfer switch to degrade and overheat. Continued use of the vehicle without replacing the switch may damage other appliances and increase the risk of fire, personal injury, and property damage.
Owners should contact Keystone Customer Service at 1-866-425-4369 or their local dealer. Dealers will replace the transfer switch free of charge. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for more information.
