What's wrong?
In recall 26V045, the murphy bed in the 2026 Keystone Coleman is a folding bed assembly mounted to wall brackets. Those brackets are supposed to fasten into an exterior wall stud, which gives the bed frame solid support when the bed is raised, lowered, or carrying weight.
On affected Coleman 13T floorplans with 54" x 74" murphy beds, the bracket holes are misaligned with the wall stud. That leaves the hardware secured in the wrong location instead of anchored where the wall has enough strength. As the bed moves or carries weight, the screws can loosen or pull out, letting the bed fall unexpectedly.
Owners can see the warning sign before failure. The murphy bed wall brackets can look loose, or the screws can pull out from the wall brackets. The repair does not replace parts; it secures the bed components to the correct location.
