Defect
Keystone has revised their remedy process and is again recalling certain 2009-2011 vehicles with the generator ready option, or with standard generator. See the list above for the affected models. Some iota its-50r transfer switches are experiencing failures when exposed to high electrical loads. The failure is causing connections and wiring in the transfer switch to degrade and over heat.
Safety risk
Continued use of the vehicle without replacing the transfer switch may damage other appliances, increase the risk of a fire, personal injury, and property damage.
Remedy
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transfer switch, free of charge. The remedy for the previous recall (10v-594) was to inspect and tighten the switch connections. The safety recall began on february 24, 2012. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
