What this recall means for you

Certain 2017-2018 Pleasant Valley travel trailers and truck campers are equipped with Kidde model 210D plastic-handle fire extinguishers that may become clogged. A clogged extinguisher may not discharge as expected or may require excessive force to activate. In addition, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the extinguisher inoperable.

If a fire occurs and the extinguisher does not work properly, the risk of injury increases. Owners should take this recall seriously and act promptly.

Pleasant Valley will notify owners and direct them to contact Kidde directly to receive a replacement fire extinguisher free of charge.
