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.
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.

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).

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer

Risk: If co reaches a harmful level, serious illness or death could result to the occupants.
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.
Wheels:rim
Problem: On certain travel trailers and fifth wheel recreational vehicles equipped with tredit 16" chrome wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.
