2016 Keystone Montana recalls

Recall 17V-755: Equipment

Reported Nov 22, 2017 · 1,205,997 vehicles affected · Keystone RV Company

Problem: 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.

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

I have a 2016 keystone montana 3402rl 5th wheel and encountered a serious safety issue this past july. While towing from kentucky back to ny, I noticed my rear axle not tracking properly in my rear view mirror.

Metal propane supply line secured in such a manner that part of the camper body/frame cuts into the supply line and it leaks propane in the front storage bay where there are many electrical connections, 12 V batteries, solenoids, breakers etc that can create a spark and with the front bay filled with propane, it can create a fire/explosion.
Electrical System · at 6,000 miles · reported Mar 27, 2019
I took my travel trailer in to my dealership, smallwoods trailers, to determine the cause of an electrical fault. The fault was found to be in the braking system. Specifically the backing plate on one wheel had broken and the other three backing plates had cracks in them. I have never heard of this happening before on any of the automobiles I have owned. Seems odd. Are others having this same problem? This trailer weighs over 13,00 pounds.
