The defect
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Cougar trailers equipped with the Off the Grid (OTG) Solar package. The inverter may have been incorrectly wired, causing power to energize the shore power connection, when in use.
What it can cause
If the inverter is turned on, and energizes the shore power connection, it can increase the risk of injury.
What the dealer does
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will test the function of the inverter and rewire it as needed, free of charge. The recall began November, 18, 2020. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 20-389.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 1,278 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Keystone vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 84 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V398000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V209000 (structure), 21V708000 (equipment), 21V380000 (structure), 21V178000 (electrical system).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.

Filed by Keystone RV Company with NHTSA on October 30, 2020 as campaign 20V670000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
