What happened

Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain motorhomes from model years 2009-2018 equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These fire extinguishers may become clogged, preventing them from discharging 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 make the extinguisher inoperable. If a fire occurs and the extinguisher does not function as intended, the risk of injury increases.

Affected owners should contact Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540 or visit www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" to obtain a replacement fire extinguisher at no charge. Owners may also contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 for more information.
