Problem: 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.

Recall 10V-587: Equipment

Reported Nov 17, 2010 · 4,770 vehicles affected · KEYSTONE RV COMPANY

Problem: Keystone is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators.

Fix: Keystone is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began on december 10, 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or keystone at 866-425-4369.

Recall 07V-286: Wheels

Reported Jun 25, 2007 · 995 vehicles affected · KEYSTONE RV COMPANY

Problem: Certain fifth wheel trailers built with 16" steel wheels may leak at the valve stem during inflation or when checking the air pressure due to improper seating of the valve stem.

Unknown or Other · at 30,000 miles · reported Aug 24, 2015
While travelling home from a campout, I noticed excessive spring in the fifth wheel camper at the king pin. At next fuel stop I identified that the hitch box welds to the camper frame was broke and gapped approx. 1/2", the hitch box is the welded member to the camper that allows the camper to be connected to the tow vehicle. Had it completely separated the camper would have been loose from the truck. This frame is built by lippert who provides many of the frames for camper manufacturers. I contacted lippert and was told that it isn't warrantied due to age. This component should last longest of…

I have a 2007 keystone montana fifth wheel with bal "c" jacks (Norco industries) on the rear frame. While trailering in the san francisco area I was signaled to pull over by another driver.

I had to remove both jacks to be able to return to my home in arizona. I did some research on the jacks and I determined that there was a support channel that was missing. I purchased the necessary parts through a…

The first set of tires freestar radial s/t 235/80/16 load range e were replaced by mission tire after 3280 mile because of sidewall failure, the tires sent to replace the bad ones lasted 1680 miles. They have tread separation and wall rupture. I AM in the process of trying to recoup my tire cost. These tires are very unsafe for highway use,because of blowout or tread loss at highway speeds. No one was injured because of the tire problems but very well could have been. Seven of the eight tire I have had were a death trap in my opinion and I will never own another tire manufactured by nankang or…
