Keystone RV Company is recalling 876 2018 Crossroads Cruiser and Volante recreational trailers.

Riverside RV is recalling various 2015-2017 White Water, Water Fall, and Mt. McKinley motorhomes equipped with certain Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers.

Also, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury besides rendering the product inoperable. Riverside will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2018.
