ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2021 Cougar 29MBS, 30RLS, 315RLS, 316RLS, 32BHS, 353SRX, 364BHL, and 368MBI 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
- An energized shore power connection can cause an electrical shock, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will test the inverter function, and rewire it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 24, 2021. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 21-403.
- 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 31 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Keystone vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 20 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V801000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V209000 (structure), 21V708000 (equipment), 21V380000 (structure), 20V801000 (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 March 16, 2021 as campaign 21V178000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
