What happened

Navistar is recalling fire extinguishers in certain International trucks from model years 2000-2018, including 4700, 4900, 8100, 9100I, DuraStar, ProStar, TerraStar, and LT trucks. The recalled Kidde fire extinguishers may become clogged and fail to discharge properly when needed, or may require excessive force to activate. In some cases, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and make the extinguisher inoperable.

If your vehicle is affected, Navistar will notify you with instructions to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. You can reach Navistar customer service at 1-331-332-1590 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 and a list of affected fire extinguisher models.
