What's wrong?
The refrigerator compartment in a 2018 Keystone Summerland travel trailer is the enclosed cabinet space around the interior mini refrigerator. That space needs a tight seal between the refrigerator area and the living area, so exhaust gases and propane stay out of the trailer cabin while the appliance operates.
On affected Summerland trailers, the front of that compartment, at the back of the cabinet face, was not sealed properly. A gap at that point can allow carbon monoxide or propane gas to move from the refrigerator compartment into the living area. Carbon monoxide is dangerous because occupants cannot smell it, and propane does not belong in an occupied cabin.
The warning sign is the trailer's safety alarm. If carbon monoxide or propane gas enters the living area, the alarms inside the travel trailer alert the occupants.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Keystone technician removes the refrigerator, seals the refrigerator compartment, and reinstalls the refrigerator to keep carbon monoxide or propane gas from entering the living area. The recall repair is available now. The sealing work, reinstallation, and labor are free under the recall. The service desk can confirm whether your 2018 Summerland is included before the trailer goes into the bay.
