In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
The Kiddie brand fire extinguisher equipped with some vehicles may not operate properly. The nozzle may clog, preventing proper discharge; pressure may be so great that the nozzle detaches and excessive force may be needed to get the extinguisher to function. General Motors will contact vehicle owners and will advise them to contact Kiddie to obtain a replacement fire extinguisher free of charge to resolve the concern.
Recall repairs on your Chevrolet or GMC truck must be performed by a General Motors dealership. General Motors will notify known owners of affected vehicles (a timetable for this notification is not available as of the time of this writing). If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local General Motors dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The General Motors recall number is 18146.
