2017 WAYFARER 24 QW

  • Brand WAYFARER

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Wayfarer is recalling certain 2017 24 QW recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. The extinguishers may become clogged, which can prevent them from discharging properly or 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. These defects create a risk of increased injury in the event of a fire if the extinguisher fails to function.

Wayfarer will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. Affected owners should contact Wayfarer customer service at 1-256-356-8661 or Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540, or visit www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. A full list of affected fire extinguisher models is available at https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf.
