2012 Keystone Montana recalls

Recall 17V-755: Equipment

Reported Nov 22, 2017 · 1,205,997 vehicles affected · Keystone RV Company

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. 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.

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

Original goodyear made-in-china tires were wearing unevenly after only a few thousand miles. We are obsessive about checking and adjusting tire pressure before each trip. Experts recommended checking trailer axle alignment, which we had to do at our own expense even though still under warranty. No trouble found.

We had checked the tire pressure that morning and had the recommended 80 PSI as advised on the tire.

I purchased a new5th wheel rv in july 2013 and I have had 2 tire blow outs within 8 months since I bought it.

It appears to be tread seperation and it has done extensive damage to my rv both times. I have had the rv repaired by a rv dealer both times.
