kidde fire extinguisher recall

[Tractorat]

Wondered if anyone has registered for the kidde fire extinguisher recall and actually received the new fire extinguishers.

Yes, I have six extinguishers in vehicles and tractors that are on the list. I turned in for four the first round and have received replacements. I had to send the old ones back. Kidde paid the shipping both ways. I have two more that were in tractors that I didn't get turned in the first time and expect them any day. Pretty simple to do - just a little time consuming. They new ones have metal handles. Here is a link:

I went to the bottom of the page and clicked on the "Plastic Handle" link. Then, I just did a search of my model. I have one that did not have a date code and called. I was told what code to put in.

I've had three replaced. They didn't come all at once, so I'm of the opinion they are sending them as fast as they can produce them.

When I got home, there was one more that was delivered. Just one more to go.

I guess Ill have to call them again. I registered the first of nov and havnet seen anything yet. The company that is handleing this is worthless as far as information goes.

I did mine online, didn't need to call anyone.

Do you still have your extinguishers? If so, you may want to follow the link I provided. It took less than a week for mine to arrive.

I had 2 replaced, filled out the forms online and submitted them. About 3 to 4 weeks later I received an email from Kidde requesting that I verify I had the affected model numbers, and I replied to that. 2 weeks later I got an email saying the replacements were backordered and would ship as soon as available. In another 2 weeks I received 2 new ones with instructions to return the old ones with the supplied pre-paid FedEx labels using the existing shipping containers. Time consuming but painless.

All of my extinguishers are now here. The last two that came are designed a bit differently from the first four that were replaced and I'm not sure they will fit in the old mounts. The new mounts are for mounting to a wall. I may need to fab something up to secure them.

I just received a letter from Forest River explaining what to do about the fire extinguishers recall for my Cedar Creek. I guess I will be doing that next month since I need to get to the camper that's in storage and check what model I have. My other two extinguisher and of a different manufacture so no recall on them.
