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.

Safety risk
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Keystone will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-574-535-2100, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-307.
CERTAIN TRAVEL AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS HAVE INCORRECT INFORMATION ON THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION TAG AND THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABEL.
Safety risk
ON THE TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE GVWR AND THE AXLE RATING IS HIGHER THAN THE ACTUAL RATINGS FOR THE AXLES INSTALLED. LOADING THE VEHICLE BEYOND THE GVWR COULD RESULT IN POOR VEHICLE HANDLING AND INCREASED RISK OF PROPERTY AND A VEHICLE CRASH. ON THE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, THE TIRE LOAD RANGE AND MAXIMUM INFLATION DATA ON THE TAG IS INCORRECT. OVER-INFLATING A TIRE COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABELS AND THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 26, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE AT 1-866-425-4369.
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRIC BED LIFT OPTION, A WASHER MAY HAVE BEEN OMITTED DURING PRODUCTION.
Safety risk
IF THE WASHER IS MISSING, THE BED PLATFORM MAY BECOME DISPLACED DURING TRANSIT. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY IF SOMEONE USES THE BED WHEN IT IS PARTIALLY DISPLACED AND DOES NOT NOTICE IT.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ELECTRIC BED LIFT SYSTEM AND INSTALL ANY MISSING WASHERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KEYSTONE RV AT 1-866-425-4369.
