- 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 was traveling from flagstaff heading to sun lakes az when my trailer had a tire blow out. I have a 2010 keystone montana 5th wheel purchased may 2009. I checked the air pressure in all 4 of the trailer tires the day before. They were all above 75 psi and less than 80 psi (checked them cold). The failure occurred approx 1000ft from exit 293 cornville rd. I was traveling at 55 mph or less due to "road work ahead" signs. There was no debris on the road. *Tr
