What's wrong?
The propane line in the 2012-2013 Keystone Springdale 266RLSSRWE travel trailer is a copper tube that carries LPG fuel to the range. That line is supposed to stay routed clear of moving suspension parts so propane reaches the appliance inside a sealed system.
On affected Springdale trailers, the suspension sits close enough to the copper range line that it can contact the line during travel. Road movement loads and unloads the suspension, and that contact can rub, dent, or damage the copper tube. Once the tube is damaged, propane no longer stays contained in the line.
There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell propane, hear gas escaping, or see damage near the line, stop using the range and have the trailer inspected before using the propane system again.
Who's affected?
The scope crosses the 2012 and 2013 Springdale model years and centers on the LP gas system lines and fittings.

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?
Suspension contact can damage the propane line and cause a propane leak. If leaked propane reaches an ignition source, the risk of fire or explosion increases, with property damage or personal injury. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Keystone dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Keystone Springdale is included in this recall.
- Contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 and reference recall number 12V599 to confirm the current dealer repair path.
- Schedule the free propane-line rerouting that moves the range line away from the suspension.
- Bring the recall notice if Keystone mailed one, or give the dealer recall number 12V599 when you call.
- Avoid using propane appliances until the dealer checks and reroutes the line.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Keystone technician modifies the propane line so it routes away from the suspension and no longer sits where suspension travel can contact it. The work is the recall remedy and is free once Keystone opens the dealer repair. Ask the service desk to confirm that campaign 12V599 applies to your 2012 and 2013 Springdale before the trailer is moved into the bay, then have the propane line routing checked after the repair is complete.
