- The defect
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2022 Alpine and Avalanche vehicles. The vehicles may be equipped with an exterior ladder that is not properly secured to the rear wall of the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- If the ladder is not properly attached to the trailer, the ladder may detach while being used, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Keystone dealers will properly attach the ladders to a backer in the rear wall, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 11, 2022. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 22-419.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 407 vehicles this is a small campaign: 51% 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, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Keystone vehicles have been recalled over the structure 16 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V380000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 10 complaints with NHTSA. 5 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 22V726000 (equipment), 22V208000 (electrical system), 22V144000 (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 January 17, 2022 as campaign 22V015000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
