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.

Tires:temporary/emergency spare tire
Problem: Keystone is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 cougar and laredo trailers and fifth wheel vehicles. These vehicles have experienced a limited number of failures with its spare tire carriers in particular, the spare tire carriers, when combined with a 16" spare tire and when installed on the bumper of a slide out bike/storage rack, may break or crack after time causing the spare tire to fall off.

Equipment:other:labels
Problem: Keystone is recalling 10 my 2008 laredo fifth wheel travel trailers for failing to comply with the requirements of part 567, 'certification.' the federal identification label and tire and loading information label does not contain the correct gross axle weight rating (gawr). The label indicates a capacity of 6,000 lbs, but instead should read 5,080 lbs. Also the tire size and maximum inflation pressure is listed at 235/80/r16e at 80 psi and it should be 225/75/r15d at 65 psi maximum inflation.
Risk: Loading the vehicle beyond the actual gawr could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash.
