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.

THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES A 2004 JAYCO TRAVEL TRAILER. THE FRESHWATER TANK IS HELD IN PLACE UNDER THE TRAILER BY TWO METAL STRAPS AT EITHER END OF THE TANK. THESE STRAPS ARE THEN SCREWED INTO THE FLOORBOARDS BY SMALL SCREWS. IN JULY OF 2008 THIS SYSTEM FAILED AND THE TANK FELL TO THE GROUND. IT WAS REPAIRED BY A JAYCO DEALER. ON 4/ 20/09 THE SYSTEM AGAIN FAILED. LUCKILY, NEITHER TIME WERE WE ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE RESULTS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATALITIES. I WOULD LIKE JAYCO TO REPAIR ALL TRAVEL TRAILERS WITH THIS SYSTEM SO WE CAN ALL REMAIN SAFE. *TR

Reading this record

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.
