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.

Problem: Keystone is recalling 161,250 my 2004-2007 fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:lines and fittingsDec 17, 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V585000 · 223 vehicles

Problem: On certain fifth wheel travel trailers, a liquid propane (lp) line for the slide room may be too close to the tire.

Fix: Dealers will reroute the lp line away from the tire. The recall began on december 27, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.

WheelsJun 25, 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V286000 · 995 vehicles

Problem: Certain fifth wheel trailers built with 16" steel wheels may leak at the valve stem during inflation or when checking the air pressure due to improper seating of the valve stem. Some models have aluminum wheels with a steel spare and only the spare is affected. Indication of the defect occurs when applying sideways pressure to the valve stem (such as checking the tire pressure). Air will leak through the valve hole in the rim.

Risk: Continuing to pull a vehicle with improperly inflated tires will result in poor vehicle handling and increased risk of property damage and a a vehicle crash could occur if the tire fails as a result of under-inflation.

Fix: Dealers will replace the snap-in valve stem with a bolt-in valve stem. The recall began on july 2, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.
