Accessories#2017610December 6, 2017
61,287 units affected
On certain motorhomes 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. Note: For more information about recalled fire extinguishers, please visit <a href="https://inmarmarketaction.com/kidde/Kidde284CA/">www.kidde.com</a>.

697 units affected
Certain travel trailers may have been assembled with an incorrectly sized grounding wire. This could cause the wire to overheat and melt potentially increasing the risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a bigger grounding wire.
Label#2013422November 27, 2013
106 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the Certification label and the Tire and Loading Information label do not contain correct tire pressure information. The labels incorrectly indicate the tires ST225/75R15C, be inflated to a pressure of 65 psi, but instead should read 50 psi. Improper tire pressure can lead to tire failure which, in turn, can result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed dealers or to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
