Summary

KeystoneeBay RV Company (KeystoneeBay) is recalling certain 2022 Alpine, Impact, Arcadia, Avalanche, Fuzion, and Passport travel trailers, equipped with a 50-amp shore power inlet.

SAFETY ADVISORY # 22-428

Shore Cord Receptacle

KeystoneeBay is conducting a voluntary RECALL notification campaign in accordance with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Act. It has been decided that the vehicles in the recall population have a 50 amp shore power inlet with a #2 Philips lug that may have been improperly stamped, not allowing it to be properly torqued by the installer. Under certain conditions if the lug is not properly torqued to 20 inch pounds, the loose connection can lead to an increased risk of property damage or fire.

Note – Check serial number on Key Express to verify the campaign is open. Some vehicles were repaired before they left KeystoneeBay.

When performing warranty or recall service, please make certain that appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used.

The remedy is to remove the 50 amp shore receptacle torque lugs to 20 inch pounds. If 20 inch pounds cannot be reached, the 50 amp shore receptacle is to be replaced.

 

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Locate the trailer on a level, flat, hard surface. Chock the wheels, disconnect 120VAC, 12VDC, and solar power.

 

Step 2

Remove 50A inlet from sidewall. Slide protective sleeve off of inlet to reveal the lugs.  

Step 3

Using a torque screwdriver or torque wrench with a screw bit, torque all four lugs to 20 inch pounds. If the torque value is not able to be reached, replace the inlet and tighten the new inlet lugs to 20 inch pounds. Reinstall and seal as needed.

 

Step 4

Proceed to warranty reimbursement.
