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. Note: For more information about recalled fire extinguishers, please visit www.kidde.com.

On certain travel trailers, one inch plug-in circuit breakers (single & double pole 15 - 50 amps) may have a non-conforming "spring clip" plug-in assembly that breaks or fails to provide sufficient force to maintain a proper electrical connection in the panel board. Over time, this condition could lead to excessive temperature, arcing, or thermal damage at the connection point, and potential damage to the electrical insulation of the panel board. This could lead to a fire, property damage, or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and remove all affected breakers from the distribution panel, and replace them with new breakers.

Certain travel trailers were manufactured with axles that may not provide the proper tire sidewall clearance to the travel trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft. If the proper tire sidewall clearance is not maintained, the tire could rub on the trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft and result in a tire failure. A tire failure could result in a loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, modify the wheel well and/or slide room cross shaft to allow for proper clearance. In addition, axle hub face spacers will be utilized, as needed, to assure that the minimum allowable clearance is achieved.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain travel trailers, the compliance label may contain incorrect information. The label lists the wrong Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), the wrong number of axles, and the wrong Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GAWR is listed as 6400 lbs on the label when it should read 3500 lbs. The label lists only one axle when it should read two axles. The GVWR is listed at 7,040 lbs. when it should have been listed at 7,700 lbs. With the incorrect axle and weight rating information, a consumer could overload the vehicle, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
