# 17V-824 recall: Ram 2500 and 3500

These are official NHTSA recalls. A model year on a campaign is not proof a VIN is included. Owner reports are not included.

**Campaign:** 17V-824
**Manufacturer:** Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
**Component:** EQUIPMENT
**Filed:** December 21, 2017
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=17V824

## The problem

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM 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-17V824-0103.pdf.  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.
