Recall history

2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

14V156000 · Suspension:Rear:Springs:Leaf Spring Assembly:Hanger/Bracket

Reported: 2014-03-31 (March 31, 2014)

Crossroads RV is recalling certain model year 2015 Sunset Trail, Zinger, and Reserve recreational trailers manufactured February 20, 2014, through February 28, 2014. The affected trailers may have been built with frame spring hangers that may be brittle and susceptible to fracturing.

Consequence: A spring hanger that fractures may result in a loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Crossroads RV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the frame spring hangers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in April 2014. Owners may contact Crossroads at 1-855-226-7496.

NHTSA campaign record ↗

17V755000 · Equipment

Reported: 2017-11-22 (November 22, 2017)

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

Consequence: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

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. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-307.
