Understanding the Keystone RV 1-Year Limited Base Warranty

When you purchase a Keystone RV, your vehicle is covered under a 1-Year Limited Base Warranty. This warranty offers protection against defects in materials and workmanship attributable to Keystone’s manufacturing process. However, it’s essential to understand the scope, limitations, and what steps to take if you need to make a warranty claim. Below is a detailed guide to help you navigate your warranty coverage.

What is Covered Under the 1-Year Limited Base Warranty?

The 1-Year Limited Base Warranty covers your RV from the date of purchase by the first retail owner. During this period, Keystone RV will address defects in materials and workmanship that are due to the company's manufacturing and assembly processes. The warranty applies when the RV is used solely for recreational camping, its intended purpose.

Key Coverage Areas Include:

• Materials and Workmanship: Defects related to the materials used and the craftsmanship involved in assembling your RV.
• RV Components: Coverage applies to the various parts and systems installed by Keystone, provided these issues arise from manufacturing defects.

It’s important to note that this warranty does not cover all possible issues. Routine maintenance, wear and tear, and damage caused by misuse or improper care are not covered. Always refer to the “What is Not Covered” section of your warranty guide for a complete list of exclusions.

Important Limitations and Disclaimers

While the 1-Year Limited Base Warranty provides significant coverage, there are important limitations and disclaimers that you need to be aware of:

1. No Guarantee of Future Performance: The warranty does not guarantee how your RV will perform in the future. It simply outlines what Keystone will do if a defect arises within the warranty period.
2. No Implied Warranties Beyond the Limited Warranty Period: The warranty explicitly replaces any other warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Any implied warranties that might be provided by law are limited to the scope and duration of this limited warranty.
3. No Responsibility for Incidental or Consequential Damages: Keystone is not liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect in the RV. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of use, loan payments, on-site service calls, or costs related to transportation, towing, lodging, or rental of substitute equipment.
4. Service Delays: Due to the complex nature of RVs and the specialized components involved, there may be delays in obtaining parts and completing repairs. These delays are not under Keystone’s control and are not grounds for additional compensation. Keystone asks for your patience during these times.

How to Use Your Warranty

If you experience an issue that you believe is covered under the 1-Year Limited Base Warranty, here’s what you should do:

1. Review the Warranty Guide: Start by thoroughly reviewing your warranty guide to understand what is covered and what is not.
2. Contact Your Dealer: If you encounter a problem, reach out to the dealer from whom you purchased the RV. They will assist you in diagnosing the issue and will coordinate any necessary warranty repairs.
3. Accepting Warranty Repairs: By requesting and accepting warranty repairs, you are agreeing to all the terms of the limited warranties, including any limitations and disclaimers.
4. Stay in Contact: Keep in touch with your dealer for updates on the status of parts and repairs. If you feel your dealer is unable to resolve the issue, Keystone’s Customer Service Department is available to assist.

Final Considerations

The Keystone RV 1-Year Limited Base Warranty offers valuable protection against manufacturing defects, but it’s crucial to understand its limitations. This warranty is not a promise of future performance but rather a commitment to address specific issues if they arise within the first year of ownership. By familiarizing yourself with the warranty terms and working closely with your dealer, you can ensure a smooth and efficient resolution to any problems that may occur.
