Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest May 10, 2018
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: 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. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
The risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
The 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.

THE LEAF SPRINGS ON MY UNIT WERE BENDING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. A FRIEND FOLLOWING ME ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TOLD ME MY TRAILER WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH THE UNIT AND FOUND THE SPRINGS ON THE LEFT SIDE BENT. I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD OVERLOADED THE TRAILER SO I WENT TO THE CAT CERTIFIED SCALES AND FOUND I WAS UNDER THE FACTORY SPECS BY AT LEAST 300 OR MORE LBS. I TALKING WITH FELLOW REDWOOD OWNERS I DISCOVERED THEY HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND EVEN SOME THAT HAD BROKEN THAT SPRING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT EITHER IN THE WEIGHT CAPACITY OF THE SPRINGS OR QUALITY OF THE CHINA MADE SPRINGS ON THESE UNITS. IF THESE BREAK OFF IT COULD BE A CATASTROPHIC OUTCOME FOR THE PERSON TOWING. MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT IN MY MIND. I AM A ASE MASTER AUTO TECHNICIAN SO I AM VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF SUSPENSIONS AND AXLES.*DT THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED SPRINGS UNDER WARRANTY AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED. *TR
