Keystone RV 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty | What You Need to Know

 

When you purchase a Keystone RV, you’re investing in a vehicle designed for lasting enjoyment. To support this, Keystone offers a 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty, covering essential aspects of your RV’s structure. This guide will help you understand the warranty’s scope, its limitations, and how to make the most of your coverage.

What Does the 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty Cover?

The Keystone 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty is effective for three years from the date of purchase by the first retail owner. It covers defects in materials and workmanship that are directly related to Keystone’s manufacturing and assembly of the RV’s structural components when the RV is used for its intended purpose: recreational camping.

Key Structural Coverage Areas Include:

  • Main Steel Frame and Support Members: This includes the steel frame, outriggers, and cross members that form the backbone of your RV.
  • Exterior Sidewalls: Coverage extends to both laminated and non-laminated sidewalls, including fiberglass, aluminum siding, and wall studs.
  • Floors: Both laminated and non-laminated floors, including decking and floor joists, are covered.
  • Roofs: This includes laminated and non-laminated roofs, roof decking, rafters, and the installation of roof materials.
  • Fiberglass Caps: Coverage includes the fiberglass caps, paint application, and windshield installation (excluding damages such as rock chips, dents, or scratches).
  • Slide-Out Box Structures: This includes the exterior sidewalls, end walls, roofs, floors, skeletal framing, decking, and roof material installation for slide-out boxes.

It’s important to recognize that this warranty is focused solely on the structural elements of your RV. Other components may be covered under separate warranties, and certain exclusions apply, which are detailed in the “What is Not Covered” section of your warranty guide.

Limitations and Disclaimers

While the 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty offers extensive protection, it also comes with specific limitations and disclaimers:

  1. No Guarantee of Future Performance: The warranty does not guarantee how your RV will perform over time or ensure that it is free from defects after the warranty period. It only outlines what Keystone will do if a defect is found within the warranty period.
  2. Service Delays: Due to the complexity of RVs and the specialized nature of the parts and components, delays in service and repairs may occur. These delays are often beyond Keystone’s control, and they ask for your patience during such times. Staying in contact with your dealer is crucial for updates on repair timelines.
  3. Limitation of Liability: 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, transportation costs, towing charges, lodging expenses, and loss of personal property. These limitations may not apply in certain states where such exclusions are restricted.
  4. Transferability: The 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty is transferable from the first retail owner to subsequent purchasers within the warranty period. However, the warranty coverage is not extended beyond the original three-year period. If you purchase a used Keystone RV, you can transfer the warranty by providing your VIN, contact details, and proof of purchase to Keystone through their app or website.

How to Utilize Your Warranty

If you encounter a structural issue within the warranty period, follow these steps to ensure your claim is handled efficiently:

  1. Review the Warranty Guide: Start by reviewing the warranty documentation to confirm that your issue is covered.
  2. Contact Your Dealer: Report the problem to your dealer, who will help diagnose the issue and facilitate any necessary repairs.
  3. Stay Informed: Keep in touch with your dealer for updates on repair timelines. If delays occur or if you are unsatisfied with the service, Keystone’s Customer Service Department is available to assist.
