What's wrong?
The propane bottle bracket on a 2019 Keystone Summerland trailer holds the LP gas cylinder in place at the front of the trailer. On the affected trailers, the bracket is the single-bottle style with two mounting legs. Its job is simple: keep the propane bottle upright, tight, and secured while the trailer is parked or moving.
The problem is in the metal at the bend near the mounting point. Keystone traced the issue to metal with the wrong hardness specification, which lets the bend break where the bracket attaches. Once a mounting leg breaks, the bracket no longer holds the bottle the way it was designed to hold it.
The warning sign is visible rather than electronic. The propane bottle is not properly secured because one mounting leg is broken. The replacement bracket uses three legs and comes from a different supplier.

What's the safety risk?
A broken LP bottle ring bracket can let the propane cylinder separate from the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury or a crash. If the bottle looks loose, the mounting leg is broken, or the cylinder is not held firmly, stop towing and contact a dealer before moving it again. Repair is free at any franchised Keystone dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Keystone Summerland is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Keystone dealer to schedule the free LP bottle ring bracket replacement.
- Bring the recall notice if Keystone mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V499 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer with the propane cylinder installed until the 3-legged bracket repair keeps the cylinder secured to the trailer.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Keystone technician replaces the existing LP bottle ring mounting bracket with a 3-legged bracket. That repair addresses the single propane bottle bracket that can break at the mounting point on affected 2019 Summerland trailers. The replacement bracket, parts, and labor are free under the recall. The recall repair is available now, so schedule service with a Keystone dealer and reference recall 18V499 or Keystone recall 18-328 when you call.
