Consumers who purchased a new Passport Western edition trailer from a Keystone-authorized dealership in California before Dec. 1, 2019, and with a serial number ending after HX414101 may be eligible to claim $2,000 per trailer from a class action settlement.
Keystone RV Co. agreed to pay $3.11 million to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging it misrepresented the construction of certain Passport Western edition trailers. Specifically, the lawsuit claimed Keystone advertised these trailers as having steel roof trusses when some had wood roof trusses.
Who can file a claim?
Class members must meet all of the following criteria:
- They purchased a new Passport Western edition trailer from a Keystone-authorized dealership in California.
- The purchase occurred before Dec. 1, 2019.
- The trailer’s serial number sequentially ends after HX414101.
- They currently own the trailer.
- The trailer has wood roof trusses (not metal).
The settlement administrator identified class members based on Keystone’s sales records. Consumers who received a notice about the settlement likely have a trailer that meets the initial criteria; however, they must confirm the construction of their trailer’s roof trusses to be eligible for payment.
Class members who own more than one qualifying trailer must submit a separate claim for each.
How much can class members get?
The total settlement fund is $3,107,000. This amount should cover up to 541 class members at $2,000 each plus attorneys’ fees and costs, settlement administration costs, a service award for the lead plaintiff and other costs.

Why did this class action settlement happen?
The class action lawsuit alleged Keystone manufactured Passport brand Western edition trailers with wood roof trusses but advertised them as having steel roof trusses. The plaintiffs claimed that misrepresentation violated several California consumer protection laws, including the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the California Unfair Competition Law and the California False Advertising Law, as well as common law unjust enrichment.
Keystone denied all allegations but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation and expense.
