14 units affected
On certain trailers, the safety chains installed do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the trailer. If the trailer were to become uncoupled from the vehicle, underrated safety chains could fail causing the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the underrated safety chains.

10 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the certification label does not contain the correct rim size information. The label incorrectly indicates a rim size of 14X5.5J, while the correct rim size should read 14X5J. This could lead to the wrong rim size being used, which could potentially affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the certification label.

144,034 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.
