TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DUTCHMEN T@B. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AXLES UNDERNEATH THE TRAILER CAUSED THE SPRING HANGERS TO SEPARATE. ALL FOUR SPRING HANGERS HAVE FAILED. THE AXLES BEGAN TO RIDE ON THE TIRE, CAUSING THE TIRE TO SMOKE. THE AXLE WAS LIFTED TO THE UNDERBELLY OF THE TRAILER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, BUT WAS LIPPMANN INDUSTRIES' PROBLEM INSTEAD. THE MANUFACTURER SENT SOMEONE TO REPAIR THE CROSS MEMBERS, BUT THEY STATED THAT THE CROSS MEMBERS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE TRAILER WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY REFERRED HER TO ANOTHER MANUFACTURER (MOORE RIDE) WHO STATED THAT THE CROSS MEMBERS WERE NOT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. BOTH MANUFACTURERS STATED THAT IF THE FAILURE WERE TO RECUR, NEITHER OF THEM WOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AGAIN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,500. NO OTHER VEHICLE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE.
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
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL TRAILERS, A FURNACE VENT WAS NOT INSTALLED. THE LACK OF AN EXHAUST VENT ALLOWS FURNACE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS CONTAINING CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES TO VENT INTO THE TRAILER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE TRAILER.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO VISUALLY CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE EXHAUST VENT ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE EXHAUST VENT IS NOT PRESENT OR IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, THE OWNER WILL BE INSTRUCTED NOT TO USE THE FURNACE AND TO TAKE THEIR TRAILER TO THE NEAREST DUTCHMEN DEALER OR SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 31, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DUTCHMEN AT 1-219-534-1224.
