The problem
Keystone is recalling certain model year 2011 sprinter, cougar and fuzion travel trailers equipped with siemens and murray one inch plug-in circuit breakers. The "spring clip" plug-in assembly may break or fail to provide sufficient force to maintain a proper electrical connection in the panel board.
The risk
This could lead to excessive temperature, arcing or thermal damage at the connection point and potential damage to the panel board's electrical insulation which could lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the breakers and replace as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on december 15, 2010. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
