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 PURCHASED ONE OF THE POST-KATRINA FEMA TRAILERS IN JUN 2010 AT AUCTION. IT IS A 26 FOOT, RV CONFIGURED UNIT. ON MY LAST TRIP, SEP '13, TWO ADJACENT WHEEL STUDS SHEARED OFF ONE WHEEL SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD. THE STUDS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED, ODD DISCOLORATION, YET THE NUTS HAVE NO RUST. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE WHEEL, DRUM AND STUD PIECE W/NUT, IF DESIRED FOR INFORMATION. A THIRD SHEARED OFF WHEN REMOVING THE WHEEL. I CONTACTED THE TRAILER MANUFACTURER TO ASK IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRAILER WHEELS OR ANY ALERTS/RECALLS. THEY HAVE NO REPORTED PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND DIRECTED ME TO THE AXLE MANUFACTURER. THE DUAL AXLES ARE MANUFACTURED BY DEXTER. I HAVE AN EMAIL IN TO THEM NOW. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT I AVOIDED WHILE PULLING THE TRAILER AT 60-65 MPH WHERE THAT WHEEL COULD HAVE COME OFF. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO REMAINING STUDS ON THAT WHEEL AND ALL STUDS ON THE OTHER THREE WHEELS. *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.
