If this has been mentioned here before, I’m late to the dance
it has just Been brought to my attention, and mine was affected in the recall. Kidde shipped me a new one free of charge.
CHECK YOUR KIDDE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FOR A RECALL.
It could be a matter of life and death

Before one goes to the trouble of logging onto the Kidde site check first to see if your extinguisher has a plastic handle. If it does then it might be on the recall list.

First thing I did was toss the POS and get a REAL fire extinguisher. I use 5# Amerex with proper metal fittings. When I was dragging a trailer I also had a 10# mounted in the back of the truck. The Kidde are a joke, even their big ones. They are the bare minimum that the RV manufacturer has to provide.

Yep, they met the requirement. My friend had a sport fishing boat with two CAT engines down below. They met the marine requirement with a pissy extinguisher down below. I took him down a nice beefy ANSUL unit and told him to give the baby thing away.
Half million dollar boat fitted with a kitchen extinguisher but it met the requirements.
