What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (fire extinguisher) that may fail to function or cause injury during a fire, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

ShowHauler Trucks, Inc. is recalling all 2003-2018 Garage Coach, Toter Coach, and Motorhome recreational vehicles. The recall involves 783 units equipped with specific Kidde fire extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing discharge 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 extinguisher inoperable.

If the fire extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury. ShowHauler will notify owners to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on February 28, 2018.
