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. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed 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.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.

Electrical system

Atwood propane range has a malfunctioning oven pilot light and goes out when in use. I have replaced the pilot light assy at atwood's suggestion and it does not make a difference. I am hesitant to use the range for safety considerations. I note there was a recall shortly after my oven was built on 05 27 2010 and am thinking the original recall may not have been complete. *Js
