Recalls for 2017 Wayfarer 24 Qw

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT

Posted on: 2018-01-22
Description
Wayfarer is recalling certain 2017 24 qw recreational vehicles, equipped with kidde plastic-handle or push button 'pindicator' fire extinguishers.  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.  For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/rmisc-17e062-5427.pdf
