Massive fire extinguisher recall

[Joe Romas]

Kidde has announced a recall of 37 million extinguisher, check your camper's.
Our 1999 Casita came with a model 210D that is on the list.
Here's the consumer Product Safety Recall.

Joe,
Thanks for the information. You helped make it easy. I just filled out the online form and now will wait for the replacement.

I just called Kidde and gave them my model number and they said it was not included in the recall which was good news.

[DeBreez]

The one in my 2015 Casita was on the list. All you have to do is fill out the form and they will send you a replacement. They will include instructions on what to do with the old one.

Thanks for posting this!

Joe, Thanks for the link, I just registered my 2 new(probably 3 months old) fire extinguishers to be replaced. The link says 15 to 20 business days.

Just a heads up! I have one on the US recall list but not on the Canadian recall list. I cannot register on the US site due to Canadian address and cannot do the Canadian site due to the fact that that the model is not listed. I will have to phone next week, I guess.

This may be a problem for people that have imported a trailer in either direction, USA to Canada (like me) or Canada to USA.

My '06 SD had the M5P dated '06 on the bottom. I called them to verify and after 17 minutes, done. Sure is going to take a long time for 37 million .

Thanks for the link Joe, as it made getting our 3 year old unit replaced very easy.

Thanks for the reminder. The one in my kitchen at home is on the recall list but I forgot about the one on the trailer. [emoji91]

Phoned the US side of the recall and had no problems other than the model number. Mine was a XL 2-1/2 TCZ-3 and the recall listed a XL 2.5 TCZ-3 (must be a metric thing ) The lady on the phone was great except the postal code threw her for a moment and the zed zee thing (hey its a Canadian Z)

Yes failure to discharge or nozzle clogging in use would be something really good to avoid. I have I think three to check. Garage, Kitchen, camper.


The garage one, and the camper one I check the gauge for proper charge as sort of a routine thing. Kitchen one I sort of ignore. I guess I should add checking it to when I do my smoke detectors when daylight savings time switches.

Received one of three replacements today.

It came with a prepaid return Fed-X label.

Exactly one week

If you don't have a working fire extinguisher use a two liter bottle of soda pop.

Turns out the trailer has a First Alert so should be fine.

Wouldn't recommend that on a grease fire, especially in close quarters.

Kidde sells fire extinguishers under many brand names and some of those are also under recall, so you need to check, not just assume. I don't think First Alert is involved in the recall though.
