Welcome to the forum from the other side of the Rockies. Not sure if your particular Vantage is affected but certain models from 2012-2013 were issued a recall regarding the roof seam - both front and rear. The recall was issued by Keystone on March 7, 2013. Are you aware of this recall?

Check out this topic by doing a forum search - type in Vantage recall. If you can't find the thread that deals with the recall, post here.

PS I just checked the recall notice and I see that the 2012 Vantage 32FLS is one that is affected. Best check it out with your dealer - or did he mention anything about it being recalled?

Did you read the recall notice from Keystone? Might be worthwhile to run it off and have it with you as a reference when talking to the dealer. I think you can also go to the Keystone website and see the recall there. (www.keystonerv.com)

If your dealer doesn't know about any such recall, he should find out! What is it with him that he would sell you an RV that has a recall on it and not tell you??????

Glad to hear that things went well with the recall and that the dealer has assured you that the recall and subsequent repair to the Vantage cap/seal has been successfully carried out.

I would have thought, however, that the dealer should have informed you that there was a recall and that they competed the necessary repair. It seems best that you would have been told by them rather than finding out about it here on the forum.
