What happened

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2002-2017 Freightliner Cascadia, Century Class, Columbia and Coronado trucks, as well as Western Star 4700, 4900, 5700, 5900 and 6900 trucks equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. The fire extinguishers may become clogged and fail to discharge properly, may require excessive force to activate, or in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly, potentially causing injury and rendering the extinguisher inoperable.

If the fire extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury. Affected owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or visit www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" to request a free replacement fire extinguisher. A full list of affected fire extinguisher models is available at https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf.
