What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling fire extinguishers in certain 2003-2018 recreational vehicles, motorhomes, and trailers from brands including Forest River, Coachmen, and Shasta. The recalled Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers may become clogged and fail to discharge properly, or may require excessive force to activate. In some models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the extinguisher inoperable.

Forest River will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. Affected consumers should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or visit www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.
