- 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.

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.

3 complaints about the 2015 Keystone Laredo
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 keystone laredo. While driving over 60 mph, the rv became very unstable and swayed left and right. The vehicle was taken to river city rv (4545 w. Bethany rd, north little rock, ar), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.
Carbon monoxide and fire hazard. On december 4, 2016 while camping in mesa, az we encountered a heavy rain. After turning on the furnace we smelled something out of the ordinary and the furnace was hard to ignite. Furnace was shut down and after extensive investigation it was discovered that smell came from the furnace combustion chamber. It was found that a metal vent cover that combines intake combustion air and an exhaust opening below it had louvered horizontal openings pointed up, that allowed rainwater and...

other water flowing down the side of the travel trailer to enter the enclosed combustion chamber. Investigation of that problem led to various web-sites where other people had encountered similar problems. The water infiltration into the combustion chamber presents a hazard to the occupants of the trailer, in that it can short out the electronic board that runs the furnace and it corrode the chamber and create holes in the chamber thereby allowing the combustion from inside the coach depriving the occupants of oxygen. A silent killer! The manufacturer of the laredo mk240 were notified by has failed to act other than to let me know that I should take to trailer to the dealer, (a 40 mile trek) and than keystone would decide if they wanted to 'participate in the repair'. The manufacturer of the furnace may also be aware of the problem, since the problem has been discussed on web-sites. This condition on many rv's, and travel trailers presents a danger of not only a fire but also of possible suffocation of the occupants of any affected rv's and travel trailers.

A 2015 travel trailer, keystone laredo 240mk purchased in august 2015 had the following problem, considered a safety hazard: while underway we had a flat tire. When I attempted to change the tire and install the spare tire, it turned out that the bolt pattern did not match the axle lugs. It was close but not quite. We had to manage to crawl to a safer place where from help could be summoned. An inexperienced or older driver may mistakenly have thought that the wheel was securely attached to the axle and driven off....

That would unquestionably have resulted in the wheel sheering off the lugs and a 'run-away' wheel on the highway, possibly causing all kind of accidents. The manufacturer, keystone of goshen, in, have been notified of the problem, but so far 2 weeks later have yet to respond. I strongly suspect that I am not the only travel trailer with that problem, and I think nhrsa should investigate this matter asap, someone gets hurt. This is a safety issue! And we still don't have a useable spare tire/wheel.
