Another Keystone Montana RECALL
I received a Safety Recall Notice from Keystone today. I have a 2011 model 3400RL with a factory installed generator. The notice states, "It has been decide some IOTA ITS-50R transfer switches are experiencing heat related failures when exposed to the elevated electrical loads associated with RV use in higher ambient temperatures. The failure is causing connections and wiring in the transfer switch to degrade and heat leading to elevated case temperatures and an increased risk of electrical damage to other appliances from loss of neutral in a 240V circuit. Continued use of the vehicle without replacing the transfer switch increases the risk of fire, personal injury, and property damage."
Keystone will replace the IOTA switch with a different brand transfer switch supplied by Keystone.
As soon as possible, make an appointment to have your RV serviced by your dealership.
Assuming you have a similar year/model Montana with a generator or generator prep, you should also get a letter from Keystone. This is just a head's up.
Good luck.
