What happened

Riverside RV is recalling certain fire extinguishers installed in 2015-2017 White Water, Water Fall, and Mt. McKinley motorhomes. The affected units include Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers and Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged and fail to discharge, or may require excessive force to activate. In some models, the nozzle can detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and make the extinguisher inoperable. These defects increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

Riverside will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. Owners of affected motorhomes should contact Riverside customer service at 1-260-499-4511 to arrange for the replacement.
