What's wrong?
The rear ramp door on the 2010 Keystone Fuzion is the large hinged door at the back of the trailer or fifth wheel. It closes the cargo opening and, on units with the Touring Edition II package, also works in a patio position. In that patio setup, support cables help hold the door level instead of letting its full weight hang from the hinges.
The problem is at the cable support brackets, the metal mounting points that anchor those support cables to the door structure. The bolts for those brackets can fail while the ramp door is being used in the patio position. If the bolts let go, the cable loses its anchor and the door no longer has the support it is supposed to have in that setup.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not rely on a sound, visible change, or handling difference to know the bracket bolts are about to fail.
Who's affected?
The included Fuzion trailers were built from October 14, 2009, through January 11, 2010.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A ramp door that falls while it is set up as a patio can injure anyone standing or sitting on it. Keep people off the door until the cable hardware has been replaced, and use the door with care around passengers. Repair will be free at any franchised Keystone dealer once available.
