The problem
Keystone rv is recalling certain model year 2010 raptor fifth wheel motorhomes manufactured from september 25, 2009 through march 2, 2010. The remote receiver is not compatible with the high speed landing gear motor. If the motor is operated in a binding situation, the remote receiver may be damaged and overheat due to an inadequate breaker and fuse protection and the excessive current draw of the motor.
The risk
Continuing to operate the landing gear motor in this condition will increase the risk of fire.
The fix
Keystone rv will notify owners and the vehicles will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on july 8, 2010. Owners may contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
