been waiting since the recall was first announced for mine. Got a call back 3 weeks ago to confirm some info, but still haven't received mine yet.
I got a recall on my car because of this. It does not have one in it.
The one that came with the boat had no mfg date and the model # did not look like anthing on the web site.
I e-mailed Ranger first to see if they had any info. They e-mailed me back with this.
We have received the below from Kidde:
If you receive consumer inquiries, please immediately direct them to contact Kidde at (855) 271-0773 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST Monday-Friday (excluding holidays), or between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the weekend to determine whether their extinguishers are affected. They may also visit www.Kidde.com.
They said it was not involved in the recall but being 13 yrs. old should replaced.
I have been waiting for 2 weeks for mine.
I did the recall deal on my boat unit in late fall, bing bang boom, about a 14 day turnaround, no problem
Did mine on line had 2 involved, Took about 2 weeks to get my replacments.
2023 Phoenix 920 Elite
2023 Mercury Pro XS 4S
I went through the process. Finally got a new extinguisher. It was the wrong one. It was just the fire extinguisher with a mount but it didn't come with mounting screws (Not a big deal) or the strap that holds it to the mount. (Big deal).
I decided I'm not going to go chasing them down for the right one, shipping the replacement back then waiting again for another to arrive. I ended up putting the one they sent in the cup holder on the rear door of my pick up. Fit perfect and hey, I might need one there too someday. Meanwhile, I'll just go to the local Marine Supply store and buy a new one for the boat. They're not that expensive.
No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.
Did mine online, had new and better unit in 3 weeks, metal nozzle, metal activation handle, gauge and 3 lb. instead of 2 lb. and came with pre-paid shipping label for return with FED-EX.
Got one of them today .
Filled out the online form a little over a week ago, got it today
Did mine shortly after the recall came up on BBC. Got the new one, and shipped back the old one. Very easy. Just wished the notice came out a little sooner. I had already bought a replacement about a month before the notice. Guess I'll just leave one in the truck.
Ranger Z-20, Yamaha F225.
Kidde Kars.....You should have bought an extended warranty....
We had 8 of them replaced. Fairly painless process, I thought.
