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 Nov 22, 2017
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. 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.

I OWN A 2007 KEYSTONE EVEREST FIVER. THE TIRES ON IT ARE THE MISSION'S 235-80-16 LOAD RANGE. I'VE HAD TWO BLOWOUTS,THE FIRST WASN'T THAT BAD BUT THE SECOND ONE DID SOME DAMAGE ON THE SIDE OF THE CAMPER. I CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE FIVE YEARS OLD THAT THEY COULDN'T OR SHOULD I SAY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I PURCHASED THE UNIT NEW OFF THE LOT IN 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DATE ON THE TIRES WAS 2006 AND THAT THE LIFE SPAN OF TRAILER TIRES WAS 3 TO 5 YEARS THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER IF THEY WERE IN SERVICE OR WAS WAITING TO BE PUT ON THE UNITS. SO PEOPLE EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE DATES ON THE TIRES WHEN THEY GO TO PURCHASE A NEW CAMPER BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE OLDER TIRES ON IT AND NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. I KNOW THAT I WILL BE LOOKING. IT'S NOT FUN SETTING ON THE SIDE OF ROAD TRYING TO CHANGE A FLAT WITH TRUCKERS COMING BY YOU AT 80 MPH AND THE CAMPER ON A JACK WITH NO TIRE ON THE CAMPER SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE WONDERING IF ITS GOING TO FALL OF THE JACK BEFORE YOU GET THE TIRE BACK ON. *KB

DOMETIC ALSO PLACED A COVERING AROUND THE REFRIGERATOR, BUT THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS MAY NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE FAILURE. THE REFRIGERATOR COOLANT CONTINUED TO LEAK.

LOOSE AXLE. THE BACK AXLE BECAME LOOSE THEREFORE CAUSING IT TO BACK P TO THE FRAME ON ONE SIDE AND RUBBING ON THE INSIDE FRAME AND WHEEL COVERS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A TIRE BLOW ON BOTH SIDES TO EXTREMELY HIGH FRICTION OF THE TIRES ON THE ROAD AND RAPID WEAR OF THE TIRES. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE DUE TO HEAT CREATED BY THE FRICTION OF THE TIRE ON THE TIRE COVER AND FRAME. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
