- The problem
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf.

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.

all tires & they were at the correct psi. We left that location & traveled to our campground a few miles down the road. We stayed at our location until sept. 17Th 2018. No picture available & we did not keep the tire of the first blowout on sept. 17Th 2018 we left elberta al back in route to calera al at approx. 0930Hrs. At approx. 1115Hrs near mile marker 60 on i65nb tire 2 blew out. We pulled to the shoulder of the interstate. The blowout resulted in the tread wrapping around the axle and breaking system of the trailer. After many attempts to get the tread off the trailer and my husband causing injury to his arms from the wires of the tire, we contacted a towing company for assistance at the recommendation of towing services from the county sheriff's office. The tow owner arrived & was able to remove the tread and place the spare tire on. This blowout resulted in break damage to break 2 & skirt damage to the camper. We continued to our destination exiting i65nb in montgomery & traveling the rest of the way on hwy 31. On hwy 31 near the pine level 65 over pass tire 3 blew out. We were able to pull off into a gas station parking lot. We unhitched the trailer & had to drive to the nearest tire service center & replaced the tire from the second blow out to place on the 3rd blowout.
