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.

Fire reported

1. FIRE BEHIND FURNACE PANELING 8:30 AM MST I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE FURNACE PANEL. I SHUT DOWN THE FURNACE AND OPENED THE FURNACE PANEL. UPON OPENING, I DISCOVERED THE LINOLEUM BURNING IN A SIX INCH DIAMETER OVAL AREA. I EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. EXAMINATION SHOWED THE FURNACE FEEDS THE DUCT SYSTEM UNDER THE FLOOR BY MEANS OF A HOLE IN THE FLOOR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO ALIGN WITH THE FURNACE CHAMBER HOLE. THE SPACE BETWEEN FURNACE AND FLOOR HAS A FITTED GASKET AND ALUMINUM-LIKE FOIL PROTECTING THE FLOOR FROM THE HEATED AIR. HOWEVER, THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR WAS MISALIGNED BY 3" SUCH THAT THE FURNACE SLOT WAS OVERLAPPING 3" OF ACTUAL LINOLEUM COVERED FLOOR. THIS ALLOWED THE FURNACE HEATED AIR TO BLOW DIRECTLY ON THE LINOLEUM AND SET IT ON FIRE. THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED ON-SITE OF OUR HOUSE BUILDING, SO I ENLISTED HELP FROM THE HVAC CONTRACTOR WORKING ON THE HOUSE; AND WE CORRECTED THE HOLE ALIGNMENT AND PUT IN SHEET METAL, INSULATION, GASKETS, AND HEAT BARRIERS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. 2. EARLIER HAZARD PROBLEM. SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER, WHEN ATTEMPTING ACCESS TO BLACK AND GRAY WATER VALVES, IT WAS VERY EASY TO CUT YOUR HAND ON SHARP EDGED SHEET METAL PANELS ABOVE THE VALVES. I CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM BY PUTTING TUBING OVER THE SHARP EDGES. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY ABOUT THIS HAZARD, I WAS TOLD BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON THAT IT "WASN'T WARRANTY". I EXPLAINED I WAS ALERTING THEM TO HAZARD, DESIGN AND QUALITY CONTROL PROBLEMS. 3. MISALIGNED BATH ROOM DOOR, UNLABELED ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, AND CO DETECTOR. THESE ITEMS REPRESENT THE MINOR ANNOYANCES THAT I HAVE CORRECTED ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CO DETECTOR POWER SYSTEM BY RECALL. THE REVERSE SUCCESSION OF THESE ABOVE ITEMS HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS LACK OF QUALITY/MANAGEMENT CONTROL IN PLACE TO TRANSFER DESIGN TO PRODUCTION AND WITH INFORMATION FLOW TO RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT. THIS IS CREATING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH HAZARDS TO THE EQUIPMENT USER. *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.
