In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V060
Manufacturer Wayfarer
Components EQUIPMENT
Potential Number of Units Affected 24
Summary
Wayfarer is recalling certain 2017 24 QW recreational vehicles, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.
