- 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.

The 2013 crossroads zinger travel trailer I purchased has a 3401.94 Kg or 7500 lb gvwr/pnbv, the tires on the unit are 205/75r15 load range c. The max load of the tires are 1820 lb @ 50 lbs psi max pressure cold. The combined load for the tires is 7280 lbs on a trailer that has a label of gvwr of 7500 lbs, this inaccurate label leads to improper vehicle loading specifications. This is a safety issue which could lead to a tire failure which may result in personal injury or property damage. *Tr
