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.

EQUIPMENT

1,205,997 units potentially affected
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.

464 units potentially affected
The defect: Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Springdale recreational vehicles, model 303BH. The Federal Identification Tag on these vehicles overstate the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (GAWR) by 800lbs for each axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk: The incorrect GAWR makes the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label incorrect and may result in the vehicle being overloaded, affecting the vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will provide a new Federal Placard with the correct GAWR and a new CCC label, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2017. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-289.

I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED OR EXACT EVENT, AND NEITHER DID THE PREVIOUS OWNER. SO I STATED THE DATE THE FAILURE WAS DISCOVERED AND GUESSED SPEED AND TOTAL MILEAGE (TRAILER HAS BEEN TO BADLANDS SOUTH DAKOTA AND UPPER MICHIGAN). BASED ON FAILURE MODE, I PRESUME IT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING OR BACKING THE DUAL AXLE TRAILER. I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 KEYSTONE SPRINGDALE SUMMERLAND TRAILER AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR SPRING HANGER WAS BROKEN OFF, BUT NOT DUE A WELD FAILURE, THE I-BEAM FAILED AND A PORTION IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE HANGER. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED SOME TIME AGO BASED ON RUST ON THE BROKEN I-BEAM PIECES. I SPOKE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO BOUGHT IT NEW, NEVER HAD ANY EVENT THAT CAUSED IT AND HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE DAMAGE. HOWEVER THEY HAD JUST HAD A BLOW-OUT ON THEIR LAST TRIP ON ONE OF THE REAR TIRES. THE CURRENT SPARE TIRE HAS VERY OBVIOUS UNEVEN WEAR ON ONE SIDE, I ASSUME WAS DUE TO AXLE MISALIGNMENT SINCE ONE HANGER NOT ATTACHED. FAILED SPRING HANGER/I-BEAM IS RUBBING ON A BLACK IRON LP GAS LINE. THERE IS NO REINFORCEMENT ABOVE THE SPRING HANGERS TO STOP ANY TWISTING MOTION THAT WOULD FATIGUE THE I-BEAM. LOOKS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS IN NHTSA RECALL NO. : 17V-611.

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.
