2013-2015 Keystone RVs Recall 15V102: Step Rivet

Recall 15V102 covers 5,390 2013-2015 Keystone Raptor, Montana, and Voltage RVs for step rivets that can shear. Free repair once available.

Keystone is recalling 5,390 2013-2015 Raptor, Montana, and Voltage RVs because a rivet for the quad entry steps can shear and fail. When the rivet fails, the steps can give under a person using them, which raises the risk of a fall injury; the dealer repair will be free once Keystone makes the remedy available.

What's wrong?

The quad entry step assembly is the fold-out set of steps used to get in and out of the RV. On affected Keystone Raptor, Montana, and Voltage models, those steps are Hickory Springs Quad Steps. The assembly has to stay rigid when a person puts weight on it, because it carries the load between the ground and the doorway.

On affected 2013-2015 Keystone RVs, a rivet in the step assembly can shear. A rivet is a small metal fastener that holds parts of the step together. The exact cause remains under investigation, but the failure point is the fastener. Once the rivet breaks, the step loses support and gives way while someone is using it.

Owners can notice the step assembly feels loose or unstable before it fails. Treat that movement as the warning sign, especially if the step shifts, flexes, or feels less solid under weight.

Who's affected?

Spans Raptor, Montana, and Voltage across the 2013, 2014, and 2015 model years, all tied to the same recreational vehicle/trailer equipment component.

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 sheared rivet can let the quad step fail while someone is using it, causing a fall and increasing the risk of personal injury. A loose or unstable step assembly is the warning sign; stop using that step and contact the dealer for inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised Keystone dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 Keystone Raptor, Montana, or Voltage is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for Keystone's owner notice before scheduling if the dealer says the repair is not open for your VIN.
  3. Contact a franchised Keystone dealer and ask about the free quad-step rivet repair that fixes the step failure risk.
  4. Reference recall number 15V102 and Keystone recall 15-224 when you call.
  5. Avoid using the quad entry steps until the rivets have been inspected and replaced.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Keystone technician will inspect the quad entry steps and the rivets joining the second and third steps. The planned recall repair is to replace two rivets at that joint and replace four rivets on the top step with fasteners. Keystone says the dealer repair will be free once the remedy is available. Because the remedy is not marked available, confirm parts and scheduling with the dealer before you bring the RV in.
