WHILE TRAVELING ON OUR FAMILY VACATION, WITH OUR 2013 KEYSTONE COUGAR 5TH WHEEL. WE EXPERIENCED 2 TIRE BLOWOUTS. WHILE TRAVELING N ON I-59 (JUST INSIDE GA STATE LINE) AT APPROX. 60 MPH, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPLODED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAMPER. PUT SPARE ON AND CONTINUED ON OUR TRIP. ONCE WE ARRIVED AT CAMPGROUND THE EXPLODED TIRE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE STORE AND REPLACED. NEW TIRE WAS PUT ON CAMPER AND THE SPARE RETURNED TO THE SPARE POSITION ON THE REAR OF THE CAMPER. UPON OUR RETURN TRIP HOME, TRAVELING ON I-75 S, WE HAD BLOWOUT #2. IT WAS THE LEFT REAR TIRE. NOW DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE TO BOTH SIDES OF THE 5TH WHEEL. THANKFULLY WE HAD TIRE REPLACED WHILE ON VACATION OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WAITING WITH OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG ON SOMEONE TO COME TOW US OR REPLACE TIRE. WE CHANGED THE TIRE AND HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE TIRE STORE AT HOME, WHERE ALL 4 TIRES WHERE REPLACED. SO NOW WE ARE OUT ALL THE MONEY FOR 4 NEW TIRES, BUT ALSO OUR $500 INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE THAT WILL BE APPLIED TWICE!! SINCE IT HAPPENED ON 2 DIFFERENT DAYS, BUT ON THE SAME TRIP LESS THAN 300 MILES APART, IT HAD TO BE 2 SEPARATE CLAIMS. THEREFORE $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE! THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE TIRES. EITHER THE TIRE MANUFACTURER OR THE RV MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP GETTING KILLED!!!
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.
