2005 Keystone Montana-Mountaineer

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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KEYSTONE MONTANA-MOUNTAINEER. THE CONTACT NOTICED YELLOW RESIDUE ON THE BACK OF THE REFRIGERATOR. HE SHUT OFF THE REFRIGERATOR AND CALLED DOMETIC. DOMETIC STATED THAT HIS SERIAL NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE THE RECALL EXPANDED TO INCLUDE HIS SERIAL NUMBER. NO OTHER VEHICLE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE NAME OF THE DEALER WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 04/21/08 *BF RECALL# 074134000. UPDATED

DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR MOD# RM2862 SER# 42703351. I HAD A FAILURE OF MY REFRIGERATOR. STRONG AMMONIA SMELL INSIDE THE TRAILER, YELLOW STAIN NEAR BURNER TUBE AND GOT HOT ENOUGH TO BURN THE SURFACE OF THE SHEET METAL. MY REAL COMPLAINT IS THAT THE MFG KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND THE DANGERS AND HAS NOT NOTIFIED THE CONSUMERS. I HAD DONE SOME READING IN A OWNERS FORUM I AM IN AND A MEMBER LOST THEIR TRAILER AND ALL ITEMS INSIDE DUE TO THIS TYPE FAILURE. I HAVE HAD THE REFRIGERATOR IN TWICE ALREADY FOR FAILURES ALREADY AND CANNOT SEEM TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT. *JB
