EquipmentNov 22, 2017 · NHTSA campaign 17V755000 · 1,205,997 vehicles

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. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

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.

Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with tredit wheels, the wheels may develop a separation at the weld between the center portion of the wheel and the outer rim.

Exterior lighting:headlights:switchMar 8, 2005 · NHTSA campaign 05V083000 · 88 vehicles

Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers, the dimmer switch may have been wired with reverse polarity. This will cause the lights on the switched circuit to either not function at all or the dimmer switch will not dim or shut off the lights.

Risk: The switch may become very hot and melt the plastic housing of the switch possibly resulting in a fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and verify the switch is wired correctly. The switch will be tested to determine if it turns the lights on, dims the lights, and shuts them off.
