Defect. KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling various 2002-2018 recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V749-9547.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. KZRV 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 KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016 extension 154 or 153, 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.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) KZ-RV; 2006 MONTEGO BAY, VID; [XXX] ON FEB 7TH OF THIS YEAR WE WERE RETURNING HOME FROM AN ANNUAL EVENT. DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT (CA95 NORTH BOUND TO I-40), WE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AXLE FAILURE, WHEN 2 U-BOLTS THAT WERE HOLDING THE AXLE TO THE LEAF SPRINGS ON THE REAR AXLE (OF A TANDEM) FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A REASONABLY SAFE PLACE AFTER HAVING COMPLETED A SERIES OF DOWN HILL ?S? TURNS. WE WERE ABLE TO AFFECT REPAIRS VIA CONTACTING GOOD SAM ERS, WHICH WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A MOBILE MECHANIC/REPAIR SERVICE. WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR THEM TO ARRIVE, I WALKED BACK THROUGH OUR PREVIOUS PATH OF TRAVEL TO LOCATE THE FAILED U-BOLTS. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE ONE OF THEM, AND FROM MY INSPECTION LOOKS TO BE THE FINAL ONE THAT WAS HOLDING THE AXLE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT HAD SHEARED CLEAN THROUGH. I BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER U-BOLT HAD DEPARTED ITS LOCATION SOMETIME IN THE PAST, MOST PROBABLY BECAUSE OF A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING/ASSEMBLY PRACTICE. ON THE FORWARD AXLE (UNTOUCHED FROM FACTORY DELIVERY), OF THE TANDEM, I FOUND THAT; ?NO WASHERS WERE USED ON THE U-BOLTS ?EQUAL LEG/THREAD LENGTH ON SIX OF THE POTENTIAL 8 LEGS ?ONE U-BOLT WAS SERIOUSLY FLAWED IN ITS ASSEMBLY OONE LEG WAS CROSS THREADED/STRIPPED AND HAD ONLY WHAT APPEARED TO BE ONE NUT WIDTH IN THREAD CONTACT.

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.
