Under certain conditions if the 120VAC connections are wet for an extended period of time it can lead to an increased risk of fire and/or damage to personal property.
Models Included:
2021 HC Montana Fifth Wheels: All Models
Serial Number Range:
MA740000 – MA743291
Parts if needed after inspection (use proper part for gauge of wiring):
KRV # 103089 – Terminal – Molex – COC-1 – Cross Over Connector (This part may be ordered in bulk without a VIN)
KRV # 193194 – Wire – Connector – SJ – 12 Ga – 110 V – .340-.440 Diameter 19421-0001 – Molex (This part may be ordered in bulk without a VIN)
KRV # 192245 – Wire – Connector – SJ – 14 Ga – 110 V – .340-.440 Diameter – 19403-1310 (This part may be ordered in bulk without a VIN)
– #14 x 1” screws as needed
Tools Required:
– Screw gun – ¼” screw bit
– Drill – 5/16” Drill Bit
This Safety Advisory requires a Pre-Authorization & Photograph if damage is found
Note – Check serial number on Key Express to verify the campaign is open. Some vehicles were repaired before they left Keystone
.
When performing warranty or recall service, please make certain that appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used.
The remedy is to inspect 120VAC wiring under each slide room from drop frame back. Remove approximately 3 foot of underbelly where 120VAC wires enter the underbelly from the slide room, check each slide room on the main living level of the unit. Inspect the Molex Connector mounting board to verify it is mounted on the frame rail, not lying on the underbelly. If necessary, Inspect and replace damaged connectors and mount board to the frame rail.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Locate the trailer on a level, flat, hard surface. Disconnect 12VDC and 120VAC power from the unit. Chock the wheels.
Step 2
Locate the 120VAC wiring under the slide room, note the lower level frame may have multiple slides with 120 VAC. Remove approximately 3 foot of the underbelly using a ¼” screw bit to remove the fasteners. See Figure 1. Inspect the wiring connectors from the slide room. See Figure 2. If wiring connectors are mounted up off of the underbelly reattach the underbelly and proceed to warranty reimbursement. If connectors are not mounted to the frame rail (up off the under belly) and/or are damaged take clear photos of the damaged connectors and replace them using the parts listed above. Once they are replaced or if they are not damaged proceed to Step 3.
Step 3
Determine where the mounting board can be attached on the inside of the frame rail (usually right above where the wires enter the underbelly) and drill a 5/16” hole in the rail. See Figure 3. Using a #14 x 1 ½” Hex screw attach the board on the inside of the frame rail, be certain that the mounting screw will not damage the wires. See Figure 4.
Step 4
Reattach and reseal the underbelly. Proceed to warranty reimbursement.
