The issue
On certain motorhomes 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.
Description (français)
Dans certains véhicules munis d'extincteurs Kidde à poignée et à robinet en plastique noir, les extincteurs pourraient se boucher ou nécessiter une force excessive pour être actionnés. De plus, la buse pourrait se séparer du robinet avec assez de force pour causer des blessures, et empêcher le fonctionnement de l'extincteur. En cas d'incendie, une défaillance de l'extincteur pourrait causer des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les propriétaires recevront des instructions sur la manière d'inspecter l'extincteur afin de vérifier s'il fait l'objet d'un rappel. Des extincteurs de rechange seront fournis directement par Kidde. Remarque : Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur les extincteurs faisant l'objet d'un rappel, veuillez consulter le site Web suivant : www.kidde.com.
