    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Structure / Frame and Members

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2012 rubicon travel trailers manufactured from october 12, 2011, through february 23, 2012. These vehicles have been manufactured with a frame support located too close to the trailer tires which could result in the support contacting the tires when loaded.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Contact between the support and tire could result in tire failure, leading to loss of the vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dutchmen will notify owners, and dealers will remove the interfering frame support and install a new frame support, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 12, 2012. Owners may contact dutchmen at 1-574-537-0700.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Thor is recalling certain model year 2012 dutchmen voltage and rubicon trailers, manufactured from july 19, 2011 through december 21, 2011. The trailer wheels may not be fully seated on the hub and therefore may loosen and potentially detach from the trailer.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer / LPG Systems / Furnace

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 rubicon travel trailers manufactured from december 8, 2010, through july 15, 2011. These vehicles may have been manufactured with the exterior furnace vent not installed in the sidewall of the trailer. The furnace can run without the proper exhaust ventilation and release carbon monoxide to the interior of the unit.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. The heat build up from the exhaust can also result in a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect the trailer to verify the furnace exhaust is present and install one if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on august 26, 2011. Owners may contact dutchmen at 1-574-537-0700.
