EQUIPMENT
Issued by Foretravel, Inc. · Reported Jan 15, 2018 · 462 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Foretravel, Inc. (Foretravel) is recalling certain 2004-2019 U270, U295, U320, Nimbus, Phenix, Realm, and ih-45 motorhomes. These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Consequence
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
