Transport Canada recalls
03- Accessories#2018110
258 units affected
On certain travel trailers equipped with a Norcold N306 mini refrigerator, the gas valve test port screw may be loose or missing. If the refrigerator was to be used on “Gas mode” and test port screw is loose or missing, propane gas could leak from the gas valve, which in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire and/or an explosion, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will tighten the valve test port screw, or if the screw is missing, install one.
- Label#2017656
2 units affected
Certain travel trailers may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The certification label may not contain the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), tire size and tire pressre information. The label incorrectly indicates a GAWR of 5,080 lbs (2,304 kg), while it should instead show the GAWR as 5,200 (2359 kg). Additionally, the label also incorrectly lists the tire size as ST225/75R15D and tire pressure of 65 PSI, while it should instead show the tire size as ST225/75R15E and tire pressure of 80 PSI. If an owner were to rely on the incorrect values, it could result in premature tire failure, cause poor towing/driving characteristics, both of which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will apply a revised certification label with the correct values.

144,034 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.

03- EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER#18V143000
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2018 Keystone Passport, Summerland and Hideout, Dutchmen Aspen Trail and Coleman, and Crossroads Zinger recreational trailers. These vehicles are equipped with Norcold N306 mini refrigerators that may have a loose or missing propane gas valve test port screw.
Risk: The loose or missing propane gas port screw can allow propane gas to leak when the refrigerator is used in 'gas' mode, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will install and tighten the gas valve port screw, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 23, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 18-315.
- EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS#17V827000
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2018 Hideout recreational trailers, model 310. The Federal Placard on these vehicles incorrectly lists the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) as 5,080 lbs and the tire size as ST225/75R15D with 65 PSI, when the correct GAWR is 5,200 lbs and the correct tire size is ST225/75R15E with 80 PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk: The incorrect label information may cause the operator to underinflate the tires, possibly resulting in their failure and an increased risk of a crash.
