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.

Problem: Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Big Sky, Challenger, Everest, Fuzion, Montana, and Raptor travel trailers and fifth wheels equipped with an IOTA ITS-50R transfer switch. These transfer switches, used in vehicles wired to be powered by a generator, may fail when exposed to elevated electrical loads and used in higher ambient temperatures.

Risk: As the transfer switch fails, it may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Fix: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the IOTA ITS-50R transfer switch with a different brand transfer switch, free of charge. The recall began on October 8, 2015. Owners may contact Keystone customer service by calling 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 15-234.

Problem: On certain fifth wheel travel trailers, the propane hose for the slide room is too long allowing the hose to droop too close to the tire. The propane line may become damaged as a result of contact with the tire.

Risk: A propane leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Fix: Dealers will replace the propane hose with one of shorter length and will also shorten the hose support to move the hose away from the tire. The recall began on february 1, 2008. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:water heaterJul 20, 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V330000 · 596 vehicles

Problem: Certain fifth wheel recreational trailers may have incorrect wiring to the water heater. If the wiring is incorrect, the gas valve on the water heater could open and allow liquid propane (lp) gas into the burner tube when the electric switch is turned on.

Risk: This could cause an increased risk of fire, explosions, and personal injury.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the wiring and make corrections if necessary. The recall began on august 10, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866- 425-4369.
