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.

Owners may contact Cruiser customer service at 1-866-277-5630, 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.

Defect. Cruiser RV is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Fun Finder, Shadow Cruiser, Fun Finder Xtra, Viewfinder, Signature, Radiance, Enterra recreational trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.

Risk. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Cruiser RV will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began January 20, 2014. Owners may contact Cruiser RV at 1-260-562-3500 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

I WAS TRAVELING ON I94 WITH MY 2013 CRUSADER FIFTH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER AT 65 MPH WHEN A DRIVER SIGNALED ME TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY. MY RIGHT REAR TIRE ( POWER KING TOWMAX ST235/80R16, DOT 83B5 GPB 3612) HAD THROWN THE TREAD AND CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS SEPARATED AS WELL. THROUGH ROAD SERVICE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A TIRE STORE USING MY SPARE TIRE. THE TIRE STORE INSPECTED ALL MY REMAINING TIRES BEFORE REPLACING THE TWO BACK TIRES. THEY VERIFIED THE TIRES HAD THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE OF 80 PSI AND THE TREAD MEASURED 9/32". THESE TIRES HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED WELL HAVING LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON THEM. I CHECK THEM BEFORE EACH TRIP THEREFORE THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THEM TO FAIL. I ALSO OBSERVED SEVERAL WEB SITES LISTING DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE. THESE TIRES SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
