What happened

General Motors is recalling certain fire extinguishers in specific truck and van models from 2009 to 2018, including Chevrolet Silverado HD and Express vehicles, GMC Sierra HD and Savana vehicles, GMC Topkick models, and Isuzu F Series vehicles. The affected fire extinguishers—either Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' models—may become clogged and fail to discharge properly or 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.

According to the record, affected owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer's customer service to be notified and instructed to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. Chevrolet owners can reach customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782, and Isuzu owners at 1-866-441-9638. The recall number is 18146.
