**Campaign:** 17V-809

**Filed:** December 15, 2017
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=17V809

## The problem

Newmar Corporation (Newmar) is recalling various 1995-2018 motorhomes.  A list of the affected vehicles available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V809-2309.pdf.  These motorhomes are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that 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.
