- 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.

I am wondering what damage might have occurred if I were on the interstate traveling at a higher rate of speed and this lippert bolt or another of the eleven happens to shear.

The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was determined that there was a manufacturer defect due to the fact that there was not enough adhesive on the vehicle to keep the roof attached. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
