The Problem: Kidde plastic-handle or push-button Pindicator fire extinguishers sold through Mopar service parts 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 to cause injury and render the product inoperable. Either malfunction can increase the risk of an injury in a fire.
The Fix: Owners should contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher.
What Owners Should Do: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will begin notifying owners Feb. 9, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher. Owners can call the automaker at 800-853-1403, Kidde at 855-271-0773 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
