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.

Fix: Dealers will install a hard wired 12 volt co detectors free of charge. The recall began on june 5, 2006. Owners may contact keystone at 866-425-4369.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:lines and fittingsMar 29, 2006 · NHTSA campaign 06V087000 · 18 vehicles

Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers, propane lines were incorrectly positioned during manufacturing and do not have sufficient clearance between the floor of the slide room and the outside wall of the slide room.

Risk: The copper lines may get pinched when the door side slide-out is retracted. The lines could be damaged and leak propane resulting in a fire.

Fix: Dealers will relocate the lines and a stop will be added to prevent the lines from being damaged in the future. The recall began on march 27, 2006. All vehicles are located at dealerships and have not been sold to consumers.
