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

Supreme Corporation is recalling certain 2003-2018 Supreme Signature Van, Iner-City, Kold King, and Service Body trucks. These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' 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.

The defect increases the risk of injury in the event of a fire if the extinguisher does not function properly. The recall affects 33,321 vehicles. Owners should contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-352-4921 or Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 to arrange for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on May 7, 2018.
