TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KEYSTONE RAPTOR. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BECAME FLAT. THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE TIRE WAS UNKNOWN. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE WOBBLED AND APPEARED TO BE OUT OF ROUND. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE HOLES IN THE RIMS. AS A RESULT, THE RIMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH STEEL RIMS. THE RIMS WERE REPLACED WITH STEEL RIMS; HOWEVER, THERE WERE FOUR RIMS STILL ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WERE ALUMINUM. THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THE ALUMINUM RIMS EXPERIENCED HOLES WHICH WERE CAUSING THE TIRES TO PUNCTURE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR ON THE ORIGINAL RIMS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DOOR WAS CORRODED AND RUSTED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR DOOR WAS CORRODED AND RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
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.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
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.
