Equipment
Problem: Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V755-5127.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Fix: Keystone will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-574-535-2100, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-307.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:furnace
Problem: Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 rubicon travel trailers manufactured from december 8, 2010, through july 15, 2011. These vehicles may have been manufactured with the exterior furnace vent not installed in the sidewall of the trailer. The furnace can run without the proper exhaust ventilation and release carbon monoxide to the interior of the unit.
Risk: This could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. The heat build up from the exhaust can also result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the trailer to verify the furnace exhaust is present and install one if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on august 26, 2011. Owners may contact dutchmen at 1-574-537-0700.
Fuel system, other:delivery:fuel pump
Problem: Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011 rubicon and voltage recreational vehicles manufactured between august 16, 2010, through december 23, 2011. The fuel shut-off timer modules are defective. The module was supposed to be programmed with a 5 minute shut-off feature, which automatically shuts off the fuel pump after 5 minutes of no activity. The defective modules do not have this automatic shut-off feature programmed into them. This allows the fuel pump to continuously run if not shut off in the initial 5 minute period, causing it to overheat and fail.
Risk: Overheating may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.
Fix: Dealers will replace the defective fuel shut-off timer modules free of charge. The safety recall began on january 17, 2011. Owners may contact dutchmen at 574-537-0700.
