NOTED THAT AFTER FIRST TRIP, TRAILER BRAKING WAS WEAK, REPORTED TO DEALER WHO STATED IT HAD TO BE MY TRUCK. ANOTHER TRIP AND LOST ALL BRAKES TO TRAILER, AGAIN TOLD IT WAS NOT THE TRAILER. UPON INSPECTING UNDER THE UNIT MYSELF I FOUND THE BRAKE WIRES COMPLETELY ABRADED THROUGH. THE WIRING FOR ELECTRIC BRAKES WAS ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO REAR SIDE OF TIRES. WHILE DRIVING, THE TIRES MADE CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH TIRE AND WERE ABRADED THROUGH. THIS LEFT 2 OF THE 3 AXLES WITHOUT BRAKES. THE 3RD AXLE WAS WEARING THROUGH AND PICTURES ARE ATTACHED. NO UPGRADES OR CHANGES TO THE BRAKES SINCE PURCHASE HAVE OCCURRED, THIS IS HOW MANUFACTURER INSTALLED BRAKING SYSTEM AND COULD AFFECT MORE UNITS. THERE ARE PICTURES AVAILABLE BUT UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM AT THIS TIME. THE ACTUAL MODEL IS 2017 FUZION MODEL 420. *TT *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.
