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.

MY WIFE AND I TOOK DELIVERY OF A 2010 KEYSTONE LAREDO FIFTH WHEEL ON 4/23/09. WE HAD THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE UNIT AND HAD THE GUY LIGHT THE OVEN FOR US.(WE NEVER GOT OUR OVEN OF OUR 07 TT LIT). I BROUGHT THE FIFTH WHEEL HOME AND LOADED ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS FROM MY TT IN IT. THE NEXT MORNING 4/24/09 I TOOK THE FIFTH WHEEL TO MY STORAGE PLACE AND LEFT IT THERE. ON 5/9/09 I GOT A CALL FROM MY STORAGE PLACE TELLING ME THAT MY FIFTH WHEEL CAUGHT FIRE THE NIGHT BEFORE DESTROYING IT AND THE MOTORHOME AND TRAVEL TRAILER NEXT TO IT. I WENT TO THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR RECALL WEB SITE AND LEARNED THAT MY REFRIGERATOR WAS PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN DOMETIC STILL BE MAKING OR SHIPPING DEFECTED REFRIGERATOR THAT THEY RECALLED IN AUGUST OF 2006? HOW CAN KEYSTONE BE INSTALLING THESE PRODUCTS WITHOUT FIXING THEM? I'M CONFUSED HOW THIS CAN BE HAPPENING. I LOST SOME IRREPLACEABLE ITEMS IN THIS FIRE. THIS MODEL IS A LAREDO, I CLICKED "HORNET" ON THE NEXT PAGE BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY CHOICE. *TR

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.
