- 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.

1 complaints about the 2014 Keystone Carbon
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
While driving my new 2014 keystone, carbon 5th wheel on the freeway, the screws that hold the out door compartment for the fuel tank hose fell out and the door was hanging on by only several screws. If the door had fallen off or come open and the fuel nozzle fell out it could have caused a major accident on the freeway. The rv dealer also replaced the screws that fell out that hold the wheel cover area on the slider from flapping in the wind. In addition the bracket was also cracked in half. Major poor design. *Js
