Keystone Recalls Recreational Trailers with Defective Kidde Fire Extinguishers

Plain-English summary

Keystone RV Company is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers equipped with specific Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. The recall covers a wide range of models, including the Crossroads Rezerve, Redwood, and Cruiser, as well as Keystone Montana, Outback, and Springdale models. A complete list of affected trailer models and fire extinguisher models is available on the NHTSA website.

The defect involves the fire extinguishers potentially becoming clogged, which prevents them from discharging as expected or requires excessive force to activate. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the product inoperable. If the fire extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury.

Owners should contact Keystone customer service at 1-574-535-2100 or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540 for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
