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 FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 16", 6-BOLT ALUMINUM WHEEL OPTION WITH 5.5" BOLT CIRCLES, FOREIGN MATERIAL MAY BE PRESENT IN THE 'CLAMP JOINT' (MATING SURFACE BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND HUB FACE. THIS CAN HINDER THE PROPER TORQUE OF THE LUG NUTS IF THE NUTS ARE NOT INSTALLED WITH THE PROPER TORQUE DURING MANUFACTURE, RE-TIGHTENED DURING THE INITIAL 'SEATING IN' PERIOD AND/OR THERE IS A FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE LUG NUTS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT TORQUE, THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE ALL PAINT AND FOREIGN MATERIAL FROM THE WHEEL AND HUB MATING SURFACE. THEN THE LUG NUTS WILL BE PROPERLY TORQUED. THE RECALL BEGAN SEPTEMBER 7, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE AT 1-574-535-2100.
