Examples from the source records
Examples provide context, not a representative sample or a verified diagnosis.
The rear wall developed a gap shortly after delivery. RV was brought back to dealer for a repair. The repair from dealer was to caulk the gap. This is insufficient as the wall is not attached at the bottom to the frame. This defect renders the rear wall incapable of using the storage above the couch as the wall can not hold the weight and there for pulls away from the bottom of the trailer causing the gap. The brakes are electrically defective as they used non water proof connectors to wire the brakes. The brakes failed in a rain storm.
4 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

NHTSA campaign record ↗22V208000 · Equipment:Recreational Vehicle/Trailer | Electrical System
Reported: 2022-03-31 (March 31, 2022)
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2022 Alpine, Impact, Arcadia, Avalanche, Fuzion, and Passport travel trailers, equipped with a 50-amp shore power inlet.

The trailer break wiring on the left front trailer tire came out of a connector while on a mountain downgrade southbound I-24 outside of Chattanooga. This happened 2-3 weeks prior while on a mountain downgrade outside of St. Mary, MT to the left rear trailer tire. Multiple Keystone Arcadia owners in an Arcadia FaceBook group have reported the same (as well as other) issues with their trailer breaks. Had we not had our truck tell us the trailer wiring was disconnected, we could have been killed, or killed someone else. I have photo and vide…
