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. 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.
Remedy. 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.

ON JUNE 30, 2012 LESS THAN 10 MINUTES FROM OUR HOME THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON OUR CAMPER CAUSING DAMAGE TO OUR CAMPER. WE REPLACED IT WITH OUR SPARE. APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES FROM OUR DESTINATION MYRTLE BEACH, SC THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO OUR CAMPER. THE TIRES THAT BLEW OUT HAD MANUFACTURING DATES OF 2007 AND 2006. THE 2 REMAINING TIRES WERE STARTING TO SEPARATE AS WELL. WE REPLACED ALL 5 TIRES WHILE IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BRAND NAME OF TIRE. THE POWER KING TOWMAX TIRES ST235/80R16 THAT BLEW OUT HAVE CAUSED THUS FAR $8653.78 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO OUR CAMPER AND WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD THE DEEPER THEY GO INTO IT THE MORE DAMAGE THEY ARE FINDING. WE OWN AND OPERATE AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR GARAGE AND ALSO SELL TIRES. WE ALWAYS KEEP OUR CAMPER, BOAT, AND PERSONAL VEHICLE TIRES IN CHECK. WE WERE NOT OVERLOADED, AND WERE RUNNING ANYWHERE FROM 55 MPH TO 60 MPH ON OUR TRIP. ALL TIRES ON THE CAMPER INCLUDING OUR VEHICLE ARE GAUGED AND INSPECTED BEFORE A TRIP. TO DATE THE TIRE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL. WE ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH A COMPANY IN CANADA AND IN THE US FOR TIRES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. THEY HAVE ALREADY SUGGESTED TO US THAT THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO FAULT OF OURS OR BAD AXELS ON OUR CAMPER. THE TIRES HAD APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES ON THEM AND HAD 9/32 OF TREAD ON THEM. THESE TIRES COME OUT WITH 10/32 OF TREAD. THE 2 TIRES THAT DID BLOW OUT HAVE BEEN SHIPPED BACK TO CANADA FOR THEM TO ANALYZE THE TIRES WHAT IS LEFT
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
