2016 Crossroads Sunset Trail

Defect. 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.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2016 CROSSROADS 240BI RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) FROM A DEALER IN VERMONT.THE SEWAGE TANK WAS HOOKED UP WRONG ALLOWING RAW SEWAGE TO SPILL OUT OF THE SEWAGE TANK AND INTO THE RV SHOWER AND ULTIMATELY ONTO THE GROUND OF A CAMPGROUND, STATE PARK OR HIGHWAY (DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION I WAS CAMPING.THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SCHEDULED THE REPAIR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AWAY, BUT INDICATED THAT IT WAS OK TO CONTINUE USING AND WAS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAW SEWAGE SPILLING. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE RV (CROSSROADS RV) ALSO AGREED THAT I CONTINUE USING THE RV EVEN THOUGH SEWAGE CONTAMINATION OCCURRED TO THE RV AND GROUND AND COULD OCCUR IN THE FUTURE.RV SEWAGE FROM A TOILET IS SUPPOSED TO GO INTO A SEALED BLACK TANK AND NOTHING ELSE IS PLUMBED TO IT, WHICH WOULD PREVENT CONTAMINATION FROM OTHER FIXTURES SUCH AS A SINK OR SHOWER. IN MY CASE THE TOILET TANK WAS IMPROPERLY PLUMBED (BY ADMISSION OF THE MANUFACTURER), ALLOWING THE SEWAGE TO BACK UP INTO THE SHOWER AND OUT OF THE TRAILER WHILE TOWING. I FIRST LEARNED OF THE PROBLEM WHEN MY CHILDREN WERE TAKING A SHOWER AND THE THE TANK FILLED AND SEWAGE BACKED UP INTO THE SHOWER. WHILE TOWING THE TRAILER RAW SEWAGE BACKED INTO THE SHOWER AND DRAINED ONTO THE ROAD AS WE WERE TOWING THE RV. WHEN I SPOKE TO A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER HE TOLD ME HE BELIEVED THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE MADE TO ALL OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IN THE PRODUCTION LINE. HE TOLD ME THAT IF IT HAD A "P" TRAP IT SHOULD PREVENT OVERFL
