Keystone Recalls 2014-2016 RVs with Blocked Emergency Exit Windows

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2014-2016 Avalanche, Alpine, and Laredo models because a rear window labeled as an emergency exit may be blocked by a ladder.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect where an emergency exit is blocked, creating a risk of injury during an emergency escape, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling specific model year 2014-2015 Keystone Avalanche, 2015-2016 Keystone Alpine, and 2016 Keystone Laredo recreational vehicles. The affected vehicles may be equipped with a rear window that has a sticker labeling it as an emergency exit. However, this window may be partially blocked by the rear ladder and was not intended to be a secondary emergency exit.

In the event of an emergency, occupants could try to escape through the rear window but would not be able to. This delay in their escape may increase the risk of injury.

Keystone has notified owners, and dealers will remove the emergency exit sticker free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2015. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
