- 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 problem
- Keystone is recalling 161,250 my 2004-2007 fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
- The risk
- If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
- The fix
- Keystone is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
- The problem
- On certain fifth wheel travel trailers, a liquid propane (lp) line for the slide room may be too close to the tire.
- The risk
- This could cause an increased risk of property damage and possible fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will reroute the lp line away from the tire. The recall began on december 27, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.
- The problem
- Certain fifth wheel trailers built with 16" steel wheels may leak at the valve stem during inflation or when checking the air pressure due to improper seating of the valve stem. Some models have aluminum wheels with a steel spare and only the spare is affected. Indication of the defect occurs when applying sideways pressure to the valve stem (such as checking the tire pressure). Air will leak through the valve hole in the rim.
- The risk
- Continuing to pull a vehicle with improperly inflated tires will result in poor vehicle handling and increased risk of property damage and a a vehicle crash could occur if the tire fails as a result of under-inflation.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the snap-in valve stem with a bolt-in valve stem. The recall began on july 2, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.

8 complaints about the 2007 Keystone Everest
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 keystone everest rv. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the driver side front tire suddenly blew. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the tire failure occurred as a result of the frame fracturing above the rocker area of the front and rear axle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but not solution was offered. The failure mileage was unknown.
I own a 2007 keystone everest fiver. The tires on it are the mission's 235-80-16 load range. I've had two blowouts,the first wasn't that bad but the second one did some damage on the side of the camper. I contacted the tire manufacturer and was told that because the tires were five years old that they couldn't or should I say wouldn't do anything about it. I explained to them that I purchased the unit new off the lot in 2007. I was told that the date on the tires was 2006 and that the life span of trailer tires...

was 3 to 5 years that it didn't matter if they were in service or was waiting to be put on the units. So people everyone needs to look at the dates on the tires when they go to purchase a new camper because it may have older tires on it and not know about it. I know that I will be looking. It's not fun setting on the side of road trying to change a flat with truckers coming by you at 80 mph and the camper on a jack with no tire on the camper shaking side to side wondering if its going to fall of the jack before you get the tire back on. *Kb
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 keystone everest trailer. The contact stated that the boiler on the refrigerator was damaged and needed to be replaced. Dometic also placed a covering around the refrigerator, but the contact feels that this may not completely eliminate the failure. The refrigerator coolant continued to leak. The contact had to replace the refrigerator since the repair failed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 keystone everest recreational vehicle. One of the tires on the rv was damaged. When he notified the manufacturer, the contact was told that they would assist with replacing the tire. He contacted the manufacturer a second time after several days and was then told that he would be liable for the shipping costs of the new tire. The current and failure mileages, as well as the vin, were unavailable.
Towing everest 5th wheel model 364q from calif to washington. Lippert frame broke over axles on both sides and bent, broke or twisted 14 ft. Axel shifted 4" to passenger side causing tire to rub against frame for blow out. Lippert frames are unsafe at any speed and have been causing damage to many rv's for several years. Why hasn't nhtsa fixed this? Peoples lives are in danger!!!!!! *Tr
Towing everest 5th wheel model # 364q in oregon frame broke over axels. *Tr
Loose axle. The back axle became loose therefore causing it to back p to the frame on one side and rubbing on the inside frame and wheel covers. This could have caused a tire blow on both sides to extremely high friction of the tires on the road and rapid wear of the tires. This also could have caused a fire due to heat created by the friction of the tire on the tire cover and frame. *Tr
The trailer was being normally driven at legal highway speeds and was properly loaded. The curbside rear leaf spring hanger welds broke completely loose from the subframe. The hanger became wedged in the hole left in the subframe. Resulting in significant damage to the trailer suspension. At this time, the damage is still being evaluated. Any old parts will be retained for possible litigation purposes. *Tr
