Issue Description

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.

Electrical

Issue Description

On certain motorhomes, exposure to heat in the engine compartment could decrease the life of the cable constraint components. This could allow the electrical cables to come in contact with, or be damaged by, exhaust components. This could cause deterioration of cable insulation or shorting of electrical cables resulting in a fire. Correction: Dealers will install metal cable ties and heat shields.
