Deaths

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2022 Keystone Alpine. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

NHTSA complaint 11707447. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I purchased a 2022 Keystone Alpine 3720MD fifth wheel RV from Bish's RV in Anderson, Indiana (Modern Trailer Sales at the time) in February of 2023. Starting in early 2024, I noticed a crack starting to form in the fiberglass exterior wall on the driver's side of the RV originating from the lower left-hand corner of the opening for the master bed slide. Over the past 7 months, that crack has continued to grow in length as well as get wider over time. I am very concerned about the structural integrity of the underlying frame of the RV as I have read about many other owners of Keystone Alpines experiencing "frame flex" problems with their 2022 RV's. I have submitted pictures of the problem to

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
50 amp cord reel is defective. When plugged into a 50 amp outlet, My electrician found power all the way to the reel, but not to the internal fuse panel. These cord reels are known to have these issues as the fingers behind the power connection tend to arc and or corrode causing only one leg of power to make it to the fuse panel. I've contacted keystone and they refused to do anything about it. I'm afraid this could potentially cause an electrical fire in my RV unit

NHTSA complaint 11585951. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
After buying this trailer brand new, we took it on our first out of state trip. We drove from Minnesota to South Carolina roughly 1000 miles. In the location of the front kitchen slide out there is now a crack forming diagonally from the lower corner of the outside of the slide out. After doing research we learned this is what shows on the outside of the fiberglass when aluminum frame welds are breaking. We contacted Keystone, they started a warranty claim and gave us contacts to call. So far the only location Keystone gave us in Minnesota told us they no longer will do the repair because Keystone does not reimburse them fully for the repair. In hopes to get them to help I offered to pay

Every Keystone on this site — 12 vehicles.

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
