2021 Keystone Fuzion Problems

3/24 Fuzion 5th wh annual warranty inspection was completed. 4/24 bedroom slide out frame came loose from slide while in TX. we were able to make temp repairs & returning home contacted manufacturer regarding what we thought was structural issue. Keystone denied coverage, scheduled out of pocket repair with local dealer. Dealer quoted estimate, we delivered unit, they failed to even start repairs after 2 wks as promised. so far the temp repair was holding, but contacted Keystone to schedule them to repair. They were booked for months but referred us to Affinity RV in Goshen IN. Last week we delivered the unit for repair , they discovered flex frame damage outside & inside the unit. Affinity indicated many other units with same issues and would contact Keystone to cover the repairs - removing front cap, rewelding the cracks in frame and reinforcing the structure of the slide out & front cap area. the slide out is a small closet unit, not even a heavy full size slide. Affinity was very helpful & informative despite uncovering more issues than we originally thought. We are filing a report with NHTSA as we are not the only consumers with flex frame issues with a Lippert frame. This repair may cost thousands of dollars if the manufacturer does not cover this. we have seen many reports on line, of possible law suits with Lippert and manufacturers of RV's with this same problem. We're very frustrated and angry this unit has more extensive damage & only 3 years old. Affinity RV has all pictures & measurements of damage and faulty workmanship for repairs

The contact owns a 2021 Keystone Fusion RV. The contact stated that he noticed that the external sidewall had a crack that had originated from the front slide. The RV was taken to a dealer who diagnosed the failure as a normal crack and installed silicone in the crack. The contact stated that as the crack had significantly expanded, the vehicle was taken to a second dealer; Campers Inn RV of Raleigh (1501 Outlet Center Dr, Selma, NC 27576) who was advised as the first dealer. The dealer patched the crack, but the failure persisted. The contact stated that the crack had significantly expanded. The RV was taken to a third dealer; Northgate RV Center-Ringold (442 Candy Ln, Ringgold, GA 30736) and the RV was diagnosed with a fractured frame. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would cover the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,100.
