What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

KEYSTONE IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 RAPTOR FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS. THE REAR STABILIZING JACKS MAY EXTEND WHILE DRIVING DUE TO EXPOSED WIRING ON THE EXTEND/RETRACT SWITCH FOR THE JACKS. IF THE EXPOSED WIRING IS SUBJECT TO ROAD SPRAY, IT MAY ACTIVATE THE REMOTE CONTROL PANEL AND EXTEND THE JACKS.

The risk

IF THE JACKS EXTEND WHILE DRIVING, IT INCREASES THE RISK OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL LEADING TO A VEHICLE CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXTEND/RETRACT SWITCH WITH A SEALED SWITCH SUPPLIED BY KEYSTONE. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 11, 2009. NONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE DELIVERED TO END USERS. THEREFORE, AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER FOR THIS CAMPAIGN WILL NOT BE ISSUED. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE 1-866-425-4369.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
