THE ELECTRIC BRAKE WIRING THAT CONNECTS THE COACH BODY TO THE FRONT AXLE WAS RUBBING ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE LF TIRE OF THE TRAILER. IT HAS RUBBED A POLISHED GROOVE IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. THE WIRING CONNECTING THE REAR AXLE TO THE COACH WAS RUBBING ON THE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE LR WHEEL. I SECURED THE WIRING AWAY FROM THE TIRE AND WHEEL AND RETURNED THE FIFTH WHEEL TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. KEYSTONE RV'S ATTITUDE SURPRISES ME, THEY CLAIM THAT THE WIRE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN RUBBING ON THE TIRE AND WHEEL, BECAUSE THE WIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN INSTANTLY RIPPED OFF. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE THE WIRING JOB WAS INADEQUATE AND SHODDY. THIS ISSUE CAN'T BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I FEEL THAT KEYSTONE NEEDS TO HAVE IT'S DEALERS INSPECT ALL TRAILER BRAKE WIRING. IF THE WIRES HAD BEEN TORN LOOSE OR SHORTED OUT, MY 9,000 POUND FIFTH WHEEL WOULD HAVE BECOME A GIANT WEIGHT PUSHING ME DOWN HILLS! THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT MY PICTURES FORWARDED TO YOU. THANK YOU! *TR UPDATED 09/26/12*LJ

Nov 22, 2017

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.
