The problem
On certain fifth wheel trailers, there is a 12 volt light in the bunk bed area. This light can come into contact with the bunk mattress when the bunk is in the closed position.
The risk
If the light is left on when the bunk is in the closed position, it can scorch the mattress or result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will remove the existing light from the wall and attach a new rechargeable flashlight in its place. The recall began on april 3, 2006. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.
