Keystone RV Company is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Dutchmen Kodiak recreational trailers manufactured between June 10, 2015, and April 6, 2016. The recall involves 135 vehicles.

In the affected trailers, the two sections of LED rope lights used for countertop backlighting have exposed ends. These ends may short against each other, resulting in an electrical short that increases the risk of a fire.
