Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Hideout 308BHDS fifth wheel trailers manufactured between October 2, 2013, and August 8, 2014. The recall involves 198 units that may have been built with a 120V outlet in the exterior kitchen that is not part of the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit.

An outlet that is not part of the GFCI protected circuit has an increased risk of providing an electrical shock if an electrical fault exists in an appliance plugged into the receptacle.

Keystone has notified owners, and dealers will verify that the outside kitchen outlet is on a GFCI circuit, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2014. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
