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.

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 BOUGHT THIS KEYSTONE LAREDO 295RK IN 2012. THE CAMPER CAME WITH POWER KING TOWMAX STR ST235/80R/16E TIRES. THEN IN OCT 2015 THE RIGHT REAR SEPARATED INTERNALLY, BUT DID NOT GO FLAT, DATE CODE 4910 CALLED MANUFACTURER AND THEY ADJUSTED TIRE. THEN IN OCT. 2016 ANOTHER TIRE SEPARATED RIGHT FRONT POWER KING TOWMAX STR ST235/80R/16E DATE CODE 4910 CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAMPER, CALLED WRECKER AND HAD SPARE INSTALLED. AT THE TIME THE TIRE BLEW I WAS DRIVING ON 2 LANE STATE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 45. GOT TO CAMP GROUND 1/4 MILE AWAY AN INSPECTED OTHER TIRES AND THE FOUND THAT THE LEFT FRONT HAD AND INTERNAL SEPARATION, BUT STILL HOLDING AIR, POWER KING TOWMAX STR ST235/80R/16E DATE CODE 4910. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE THAT BLEW ON THE RIGHT FRONT AND THE INTERNAL SEPARATION ON THE LEFT FRONT. THE OTHER 2 TIRES OUT OF THE 5 ORIGINAL TIRES HAVE THE SAME DATE CODE 4910. THE MARKINGS ON THE TIRE ARE DOT 83B5 GPB 4910. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A CREDIT FOR 3 TIRES AND WILL PICKUP 3 TIRES, AFTER I HAVE TIRES REPLACED AND THEY INSPECT TO SEE IF IT IS THE FAULT OF THE TIRE. THEY ALSO HAVE OPENED A DAMAGE CLAIM. MY PROBLEM, THESE TIRES ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE IN MY AREA, HAD TO BUY A HERCULES TIRE TO REPLACE THE LEFT FRONT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF YOU CAN CHECK THESE TIRES AND MAKE THE DETERMINATION SINCE I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE TOTALLY HONEST ABOUT THE RESULTS.

12-184

EQUIPMENT

THIS ADVISORY 12-184 INVOLVES 2012-2013 LAREDO MODELS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITHOUT A RETURN AIR VENT FOR THE FURNACE.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

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.
