2021 Keystone Cougar Recreational Trailers Recalled for Solar Wiring Defect

Certain 2021 Keystone Cougar recreational trailers with Solar Prep wiring may have improper electrical connections that increase fire risk. Owners should contact Keystone for free inspection and remounting of the wiring.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product (electrical fire hazard) where injury has not yet been reported. The improper wiring connection creates a fire risk if an electrical short occurs, but no illnesses, injuries, or fires have been reported in the source material.

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling certain 2021 Keystone Cougar recreational trailers equipped with a Solar Prep or off-the-grid Solar Camping Package. The affected floor plans are 22MLS, 22RBS, 25RDS, 26RBS, 26RKS, 27RES, 29BHS, 30RKD, 31MBS, 32RLI, and 34TSB. Approximately 347 units are affected.
