Details

What's wrong: These vehicles were manufactured without protective (a.k.a. Gimp) molding on the metal around the holding tank valves.

Why it matters: As a result, the user may suffer cuts to hands and arms when reaching past the sharp edges of the access cut-out in order to operate the holding tank valves.

The fix: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will install the protective gimp molding around the access area for the holding tank valves, free of charge. The safety recall began on June 29, 2012.
