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. 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.

Defect. Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2017 Keystone Carbon and Raptor fifth wheel recreational trailers, and 2016-2017 Fuzion and Dutchmen Voltage fifth wheel recreational trailers. The affected vehicles have rear cargo door hinges with welds on the hinge pin and hinge plate that may be insufficient, and as a result, the top of the door may swing down with more force than normal.

Risk. If the door does not open as expected, there would be an increased risk of injury to those in the door's path.

Remedy. Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ramp door hinge, free of charge. The recall began on January 13, 2017. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 16-274.

Filed Jul 29, 201619 vehiclesKeystone Rv Company

Defect. Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2017 Dutchmen Voltage toy hauler fifth wheel trailers manufactured March 11, 2016, to June 14, 2016. The affected vehicles were incorrectly built with a 18,000 lb rated fifth wheel pin box hitch instead of a 21,000 lb rated hitch.

Risk. If the vehicle is loaded to a weight greater than 18,000 lbs, the pin box can fail, possibly resulting in the trailer separating from the tow vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Keystone notified owners, and dealers will remove and replace the pin box inner with one rated for 21,000 lbs, free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2016. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 16-259.

LEAF SPRING HANGERS ARE BENDING FROM TURNS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND NO REINFORCEMENT. AFTER SO MANY TIMES THAT THEY BEND BACK AND FORTH STRESS POINTS ARE CREATED AND THE METAL FATIGUES AND SNAPS, AND THE SUSPENSION AND AXLE BECOMES UNHINGED FROM THE TRAILER AT THE POINT OF FAILURE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PERSONS TOWING IT, CREATING ERRATIC HANDLING. IF ANY OF THE OTHER 3 SPRING HANGERS TO THAT AXLE HAS THE SAME FAILURE THE WHOLE AXLE CAN COME UNATTACHED TO THE TRAILER. THEIR ARE COMPANY'S THAT ARE MAKING AND SELLING AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT SO FAR.

Reading this record

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.
