2015 Keystone Springdale

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.

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. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-307.

Defect. Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Springdale recreational vehicles, model 303BH. The Federal Identification Tag on these vehicles overstate the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (GAWR) by 800lbs for each axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Risk. The incorrect GAWR makes the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label incorrect and may result in the vehicle being overloaded, affecting the vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will provide a new Federal Placard with the correct GAWR and a new CCC label, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2017. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-289.

Defect. Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Keystone Sprinter, Springdale, Bullet, Cougar, Hideout, and Passport trailers and 2015-2016 Dutchmen Aspen, Coleman, Denali, Razorback, Rubicon, and Voltage trailers. For a full list of the specific models and floor plans affected, see RCLRPT-15V207-4161.PDF under “Associated Documents.” In the affected trailers, the studs that are used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs may break.

Risk. If the wheel studs break, the wheel could detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheel hubs, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 15-230.

I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED OR EXACT EVENT, AND NEITHER DID THE PREVIOUS OWNER. SO I STATED THE DATE THE FAILURE WAS DISCOVERED AND GUESSED SPEED AND TOTAL MILEAGE (TRAILER HAS BEEN TO BADLANDS SOUTH DAKOTA AND UPPER MICHIGAN). BASED ON FAILURE MODE, I PRESUME IT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING OR BACKING THE DUAL AXLE TRAILER. I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 KEYSTONE SPRINGDALE SUMMERLAND TRAILER AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR SPRING HANGER WAS BROKEN OFF, BUT NOT DUE A WELD FAILURE, THE I-BEAM FAILED AND A PORTION IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE HANGER. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED SOME TIME AGO BASED ON RUST ON THE BROKEN I-BEAM PIECES. I SPOKE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO BOUGHT IT NEW, NEVER HAD ANY EVENT THAT CAUSED IT AND HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE DAMAGE. HOWEVER THEY HAD JUST HAD A BLOW-OUT ON THEIR LAST TRIP ON ONE OF THE REAR TIRES. THE CURRENT SPARE TIRE HAS VERY OBVIOUS UNEVEN WEAR ON ONE SIDE, I ASSUME WAS DUE TO AXLE MISALIGNMENT SINCE ONE HANGER NOT ATTACHED. FAILED SPRING HANGER/I-BEAM IS RUBBING ON A BLACK IRON LP GAS LINE. THERE IS NO REINFORCEMENT ABOVE THE SPRING HANGERS TO STOP ANY TWISTING MOTION THAT WOULD FATIGUE THE I-BEAM. LOOKS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS IN NHTSA RECALL NO. : 17V-611.
