- The problem
- 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.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Owner conducted a post-delivery ("zero mileage") inspection of a newly purchased vehicle and found that the bolts intended to secure the vehicle body to the frame were loose. It appeared that the bolts were not in correct alignment with the anchoring vehicle cross-member. Many of the bolts are hidden by a protective covering so their alignment / condition is uncertain at this time.
