What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2002 Keystone Outback, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 KEYSTONE OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS REFRIGERATOR WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE DOMETIC RECALL; HOWEVER, HE DOES NOT FEEL THAT THE FAILURE HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED HIS VEHICLE INFORMED HIM THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE BECAUSE A FIRE COULD STILL OCCUR AND THE COOLANT COULD STILL LEAK. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE RECALL NUMBER AND REFRIGERATOR INFORMATION WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE IS A PULL BEHIND TRAILER; THEREFORE, THERE IS NO VIN OR MILEAGE INFORMATION.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
