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.

Electrical system
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.

Risk: Overheating of the connections could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the transfer switch if necessary free of charge. The safety was superceded by campaign 11v-577. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
