I HAVE A 2004 KEYSTONE TRAVEL TRAILER. THE REFRIGERATOR HAS A RECALL FROM DOMETIC. THE RECALL IS TO PREVENT FIRES IF THE REFRIGERATOR LEAKS FLAMMABLE COOLANT INTO THE PROPANE FLAME. MY COOLER HAS STARTED TO LEAK AND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO USE. DOMETIC WILL NOT REPLACE THE FAULTY COOLER. THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM (LEAKING COOLERS) IS TO INSTALL A SWITCH THAT TURNS THE FRIDGE OFF IN CASE OF A LEAK. IT DOES NOT FIX THE REAL PROBLEM (THE FAULTY COOLER). THEY WILL NOT EVEN ALLOW ME TO HAVE THE KIT PUT ON UNTIL I PURCHASE A NEW COOLER. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH DOMETIC. I FEEL THAT DOMETIC NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.
