What's wrong?
The propane hose for the slide room is part of the liquefied petroleum gas system on 2009-2011 Keystone Montana-Big Sky and Montana trailers. The slide room is the movable section that extends the living space when parked, and the hose must stay routed with enough clearance as the trailer is used and moved.
On affected trailers, that propane hose is positioned where it contacts the tire. Tire contact rubs against the hose during travel and wears or damages the line. Once the hose is damaged, it no longer protects the propane system the way it was designed to.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should treat visible rubbing, hose damage, or propane odor as a reason to stop using the propane system until a Keystone dealer inspects the trailer.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A propane leak near an ignition source can start a fire or explosion, with property damage or personal injury. Until the repair is confirmed, keep propane systems off when the trailer is parked or not in use, and arrange service before using propane appliances if you suspect a leak. Repair will be free at any franchised Keystone dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2011 Keystone Montana-Big Sky or Montana is included in this recall.
- Watch for Keystone's owner notice mailed on February 1, 2011, or call Keystone customer service for recall instructions.
- Ask a franchised Keystone dealer about the free metal-plate installation that keeps the slide-room propane hose away from the tire.
- Bring the recall notice if Keystone mailed one. If not, reference recall number 11V027 when you call.
- Avoid using the propane system until the hose has been inspected and the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Keystone's remedy for this campaign is a metal plate installed between the propane line for the slide room and the tire area. When the dealer repair is available for your VIN, a Keystone technician installs the plate so the propane line stays away from the tire and is less exposed to damage. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm that campaign 11V027 applies to your trailer before the work begins.
