Triple E Recreational Vehicles Recall Fire Extinguishers Due to Clogging Risk

Triple E is recalling 2002-2013 recreational vehicles because Kidde fire extinguishers may clog or detach, potentially failing to discharge during a fire.

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 during a fire, increasing the risk of injury. No injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, and the hazard is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain 2002-2013 recreational vehicles, including Regal, Regency, Embassy, and MOT models. The recall involves 1,159 units equipped with specific Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers.

The defect is that these fire extinguishers 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 extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury.

Triple E will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on February 28, 2018. Owners may contact Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 or visit www.kidde.com to click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. Triple E's recall number is CA#8894-1.
