Recall 22V144 covers 39,240 2021-2022 Keystone RV trailers with miswired solar controllers that disable safety alarms. Repair is free at any franchised Keystone dealer.
Keystone is recalling 39,240 2021-2022 travel trailers and fifth wheels, including Bullet, Sprinter, and Montana High Country models, because the solar controller can be wired incorrectly. That wiring error can shut off carbon monoxide or propane gas detectors, increasing injury risk, and Keystone dealers will repair it free of charge.

What's wrong?
The solar controller on these Keystone 2021-2022 trailers manages power from the solar panel and the battery. It is part of the 12VDC electrical system, the low-voltage circuit that feeds interior equipment and safety alarms such as carbon monoxide and propane gas detectors. When wired correctly, it keeps charging voltage in the proper range and sends power where the trailer expects it.
On affected Keystone trailers with 200 and 400i solar packages, the solar panel wiring and battery wiring were not installed properly at the controller. If the controller is not set to 12v before the wiring is corrected, improper voltage can enter the 12VDC circuits. That voltage can damage components, including the CO/LP detector, which monitors carbon monoxide and propane gas.
The warning sign is an abnormal voltage reading at the controller: no voltage, or more than 14.2 VDC coming out of it. Inside the trailer, affected equipment can appear dead, including ceiling lights, the tank monitor, thermostat, TV cable distribution box, radio, or safety detectors.

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?
Inoperable safety alarms increase the risk of injury because occupants lose a warning they rely on when something is wrong. The controller fault shows as no voltage or more than 14.2 VDC from the controller, so schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Keystone dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2022 Keystone trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Keystone dealer to schedule the free solar-controller wiring inspection and repair that keeps safety alarms powered.
- Bring the recall notice if Keystone mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V144 when you call.
- Avoid using the trailer until the wiring inspection and any needed correction are complete, since carbon monoxide and propane gas detectors can be inoperable.
- Call Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369 with questions and reference Keystone recall 22-423.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Keystone technician inspects the solar controller voltage readings and corrects the wiring if the readings show it is wrong. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Keystone has a manufacturer reimbursement plan on file for eligible prior out-of-pocket repairs, and new vehicles are covered under warranty. If you already paid for a related solar controller wiring repair, contact Keystone customer service with your repair documentation.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 22V144?
Recall 22V144 covers 39,240 2021-2022 Keystone fifth wheel and travel trailers with solar controller wiring that can leave carbon monoxide, propane gas, and related safety alarms inoperable. Keystone dealers will inspect voltage readings and correct the wiring for free.
What should I do if my 2021-2022 Keystone trailer is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 22V144. If it is, contact a franchised Keystone dealer to schedule the voltage inspection and wiring correction. Reference Keystone recall number 22-423 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Keystone will have dealers inspect voltage readings and correct the wiring free of charge. Parts and labor are covered at a franchised Keystone dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is that carbon monoxide, propane gas, or other safety alarms stop working when they need to warn people inside the trailer. Inoperable safety alarms increase the risk of injury. The repair restores the affected wiring path so those systems work as intended.
