The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
These extinguishers 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.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
DTNA will notify owners instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge.
