Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles may be equipped with a rear window that has a sticker labeling it as an emergency exit sticker. However, this window may be partially blocked by the rear ladder and was not intended to be a secondary emergency exit.

Why it matters: In the event of an emergency, occupants could try to escape through the rear window, but would not be able to. This delay in their escape may increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Keystone has notified owners, and dealers will remove the emergency exit sticker, free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2015.
