Riverside Recalls 2015-2017 Motorhomes Due to Fire Extinguisher Defects

Riverside RV is recalling 2015-2017 White Water, Water Fall, and Mt. McKinley motorhomes because certain fire extinguishers may clog or detach, posing injury risks.

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, but the source text does not report any actual injuries, fatalities, or agency classification of Class I/II, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Riverside RV is recalling specific 2015-2017 White Water, Water Fall, and Mt. McKinley motorhomes. The recall involves vehicles equipped with certain Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers.

The affected fire extinguishers may become clogged, which can prevent them from discharging as expected or require 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 fire extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury.

Owners should contact Riverside customer service at 1-260-499-4511 to arrange for a free replacement fire extinguisher from Kidde. The recall began on April 9, 2018. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
