- 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.

Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Big Sky, Challenger, Everest, Fuzion, Montana, and Raptor travel trailers and fifth wheels equipped with an IOTA ITS-50R transfer switch. These transfer switches, used in vehicles wired to be powered by a generator, may fail when exposed to elevated electrical loads and used in higher ambient temperatures.
- The risk
- As the transfer switch fails, it may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
- The fix
- Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the IOTA ITS-50R transfer switch with a different brand transfer switch, free of charge. The recall began on October 8, 2015. Owners may contact Keystone customer service by calling 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 15-234.
- The problem
- On certain fifth wheel travel trailers, the propane hose for the slide room is too long allowing the hose to droop too close to the tire. The propane line may become damaged as a result of contact with the tire.
- The risk
- A propane leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the propane hose with one of shorter length and will also shorten the hose support to move the hose away from the tire. The recall began on february 1, 2008. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.
- The problem
- Certain fifth wheel recreational trailers may have incorrect wiring to the water heater. If the wiring is incorrect, the gas valve on the water heater could open and allow liquid propane (lp) gas into the burner tube when the electric switch is turned on.
- The risk
- This could cause an increased risk of fire, explosions, and personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the wiring and make corrections if necessary. The recall began on august 10, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866- 425-4369.

3.5 Hours into trip from roseville, ca to sand mountain, nv, we stopped at pilot truck stop to rendezvous with others in group. No potholes/curbs had been encountered. After approximately a 45 minute stop, we started again, and as we accelerated to 60mph on i-80, 1mile east of fernley, the front axle-right tire blew out. We pulled off at next exit. The tire's center belt had separated, damaging the center axle tire, and propane lines to trailer. Tires were checked and inflated to 80psi before starting trip. *Tr

tire from the roadside service that came and he looked at our remaining two tires on the left side and said we better replace them before our next trip and they were not good tires. The blow out happened on i-15 in utah and on state road 28 in utah by levan. The blowout happened on the right passenger side of our rv on two different days. The second blowout caused damage to our fifth wheel, it tore of the metal side wall, busted a light, damaged the gas line and the under or bottom wall of our fifth wheel. We are worried that the tires are defective and would like to have it looked into. We find it odd that we had two blowout in the same trip. Thank you, shane and wendy murray *tr
