Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Bison Coach, LLC is recalling certain 2010 Stratus, Aluma Sport, Trail Express, and Trail Hand recreational trailers. The recall involves specific Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers equipped on these vehicles.

The affected fire extinguishers may become clogged, preventing them from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate. In certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the product inoperable. If the extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury.

Bison will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Bison customer service at 1-574-658-4161, Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540, or visit www.kidde.com for more information.
