I HAVE BEEN ON A 10,000 MILE THREE MONTH LONG TRIP IN MY COUGAR KEYSTONE 275 TRAVEL TRAILER. I NOTICED MY TRAILER BRAKES WERE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS THEY SHOULD BE, SO I WENT UNDER THE TRAILER AND FOUND THAT THE WIRING FOR THE FRONT AXLE'S ELECTRIC BRAKES WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE, AND THAT THE INSULATION WAS ABRADED OFF OF PART OF THE WIRE. I JACKED UP THE TRAILER AND HAD MY WIFE APPLY THE BRAKES WHILE I ROTATED THE TIRE. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING, AS THE COPPER CONDUCTOR WAS BROKEN. I SPLICED THE WIRE TOGETHER USING WATER PROOF WIRE NUTS WHICH I THEN COATED WITH SILICONE SEALANT. THE BRAKES WORKED. I USED PLASTIC WIRE TIES TO SECURE THE WIRE TO THE SPRING HANGER, AWAY FROM THE TIRE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC HAD I NEEDED TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKE WIRE HAD WORKED ITS WAY OUT WHERE IT EXITS THE FRAME. THERE WAS ENOUGH EXTRA LENGTH FOR IT TO EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO THE TIRE WALL WHERE IT BEGAN RUBBING. NOTE: YOUR MODEL DESCRIPTORS FOR KEYSTONE DO NOT INCLUDE COUGAR TRAILERS. THIS IS AN OMISSION. I ENTERED BULLET AS THE MODEL AS COUGAR WAS OMITTED FOR THE LIST. ALSO, I WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE TRAILER'S VIN, AS IT HAS MORE DIGITS THAN IT IS POSSIBLE TO ENTER ON YOUR FORM. *TR
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.
