Kidde 🔥 extinguisher recall

FYI, the extinguisher furnished with my Bullet Premier FB19PR was one that needed replaced.

I haven't even looked at mine, guess I should check and see what they are.

Make sure you ask your dealer if they swapped out good for bad.

Thank You for posting this as I was unaware of this recall. I just completed the information page on the Kidde website and a new extinguisher is on the way. Instructions on what to do with the defective one will arrive with the replacement. For those who have not checked theirs yet, write down the model, serial #, color, and type( Lever or push button). Then locate it on the recall list and click. You will also need to enter the VIN of your RV. Good Luck!

I've replaced my RV extinguisher, which is only good for a type "A" fire, with Fire Gone extinguishers that are for all types of fires (A, B, C, and K). I have one by the door, one in the kitchen and two in the bedroom.

Interestingly, I got a recall notice from Keystone in the mail today on the Kidde fire extinguishers. (Safety recall 17V-755) But it's going to have to wait until April to check ours, camper in storage until then. But it reminded me to call Kidde about our house one. I did Kidde's online recall thing for that one in November and haven't seen a new extinguisher yet.

My TT is also in storage till April but I had replaced the Kidde with a better one anyway.
Old one is still in the trailer and if it's subject to the recall I guess I'll get it replaced.

Got the letter in mail this weekend, The fire extinguisher in my camper was
not part of the recall.
Mine is not the push button type, and the model number was not in the recall list.

Mine is being recalled. From what I read the new one probably will not fit the old bracket as they probably will not have the exact model in stock. I never noticed it was only a Class B and Class C unit. I will get one that does everything since it is going to be replaced anyway.

I had to remove the old bracket as it would not fit the new extinguisher. I might have gotten lucky, but the screws lined up on the new and old bracket.

Got the recall over the weekend, went to storage today to get the info off the extinguishers. When I opened up the camper to check them I found out they were First Alert and not kiddie so I am all good.

Mine says it is a First Alert. Not sure if that is a Kidde brand or not. I did not go to the web.

I too, got the letter - 3 months after the recall was begun. I had 3 either in the S&B or 5er plus one that they claimed wasn't but it was in the same part and serial number range so spent the twenty bucks and replaced it on my own. All 3 were replaced within 3 weeks, one of them with a better, refillable commercial version.

Be aware with 40 million on the recall that some of these, depending on which ones you have, are taking much longer to replace due to lagging supply of the components. Whatever you have now is still fine as long as there is no damage to the plastic handle (according to Kidde)

I just got the recall letter - haven't checked to see if mine are in the list of affected units.
I cynically expect this will be like the door lock recall - never received new locks...

You are wrong! .

Kidde is not a small industry player but is owned by UTC (Pratt & Whitney) and have handled it properly
