2009 Keystone Sprinter

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.

Defect. KEYSTONE IS RECALLING 2,990 MY 2008 EVEREST, MY 2008-2009 HORNET, LAREDO, SPRINTER AND OUTBACK LOFT FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS FOR FAILING TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108 "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE INTERMEDIATE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS ARE MISSING.

Risk. PULLING A VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT THE PROPER SIDE MARKER LIGHTING INCREASES THE RISK OF OTHER MOTORISTS NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLE AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE MISSING SIDE MARKER LIGHTS FREE OR CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 12, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE AT 1-866-425-4369.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 KAUFMAN GBWR TRAILER (NA). WHEN PULLING THE EMPTY TRAILER AT 40 MPH, IT SWAYS ABNORMALLY AND CAUSES THE CONTACT TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE DEALER MADE ADJUSTMENTS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRAILER HAS NEGATIVE TON WEIGHT. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.
