Defect and consequence
Defect: 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. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf.
Why it matters: 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.

Defect and consequence
Defect: Crossroads rv is recalling certain model year 2012 rushmore and elevation recreational vehicles manufactured from june 1, 2011, through january 12, 2012, with panther style 16â 8-lug aluminum wheels. these vehicles have been manufactured with an incorrect wheel center cap. the center cap that was assembled with the trailer did not provide adequate clearance to allow the wheel to fully seat on the hub face of the axle. this can result in a wheel becoming loose and potentially coming off of the trailer.
Why it matters: A wheel separation can lead to loss of control of the trailer increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or damage to others.
Remedy
Crossroads rv will notify owners, and replace the center caps free of charge. the safety recall began on march 12, 2012. owners may contact crossroads rv at 1-888-226-7496.
