Plain-English summary
Jayco, Inc. is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles, including models such as the Jayco Fifth Wheel, Pinnacle, Recon, Talon, and White Hawk, that are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. The recall affects specific model years and trailer types listed in the official NHTSA documentation.
The defect involves fire extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing them from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the product inoperable. If the fire extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury.
Owners will be notified by Jayco to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 for more information.
