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…
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
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.
The trailer has completely exposed brake wires (over 1 ft). the wires hang down from the wheel and are prone to damage from rabbits (or other animals) and/or road damage (from debris). I spoke with dutchmen and they said this was built to spec. my wires were completely eaten by rabbits and left me without trailer brakes. the company does not care and will not cover the extensive repair costs.
Mismanufactured door panels (metal door) for beds puncturing canvass requiring replacement; mismanufactured plastic seaming which hold canvass in place to trailer itself and mismanufactured canvass requiring replacement after nominal use completely falling apart leaving trailer open to the elements. both issues allow excessive and repeated water damage to unit to occur. unit IS approximately one and a half years old and only used a handful of times with repeated servicing required which has never corrected the manufacturing issues.
