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. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-574-535-2100, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-307.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailerJul 17, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V325000 · 161,250 vehicles

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. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

Risk: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.

Fix: Keystone is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or keystone at 1-866-425-4369.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:furnaceMar 8, 2005 · NHTSA campaign 05V076000 · 2,168 vehicles

Problem: On certain travel trailers and fifth wheel recreational vehicles, during production it was discovered that the furnace may not be secured and the gasket that seals the furnace to the floor duct system may be missing.

Risk: The furnace could move away from the outside wall and disconnect from the exhaust outlet. If this occurs, exhaust gasses will enter the interior of the vehicle when the furnace is operating which could lead to injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and install the furnace correctly, securing it to the floor and adding the missing gasket free of charge. The recall began on march 14, 2005. Owners may contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
