Defect. Riverside RV (Riverside) is recalling various 2015-2017 White Water, Water Fall, and Mt. McKinley motorhomes equipped with certain Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force 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. Riverside will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2018. Owners may contact Riverside customer service at 1-260-499-4511.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 (NA) RIVERSIDE WHITEWATER CLASSIC RV. A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR OF THE RV HAD ROTTED OUT AND AN OCCUPANT COULD FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO BE CAREFUL WHEN MAKING REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO PONTIAC RV (15481 E 2000 N RD, PONTIAC, IL 61764, (800) 729-5419) OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TWO HOURS AWAY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY DECLINED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WAS NO MILEAGE.

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.
