Defect. Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
Risk. In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy. Jayco will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JAYCO DESIGNER TRAILER EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR MARATHON ST TIRES, SIZE: ST 235/80R16 LOAD RANGE E, DOT NUMBER: 0HUN1LHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TREAD ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE SEPARATED, CAUSING THE TIRE TO BECOME FLAT. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DISCUSSING POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE WITH THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
