I was aware of the initial recall some years back, but was unaware of a secondary recall. Turns out the white marine fire extinguisher on my Waverunner was one of the recalled models. Just received my replacement today.

Grab your Fire Extinguisher and you can reference if your model is impacted via the kiddie website.

If it is, enter your mailing address and 2-3 wks later you should receive your replacement (YMMV).

The ones on my Seadoos are on the recall list but they make a replacement that fits the cradle where it's stored so I never did the recall

This appears to be the same recall as 2017. Am I missing something?

Correct. Kiddie has had 3 recalls 2009, 2015 and 2017. Some of the units replaced under the 2015 recall were later recalled in 2017. Initially I was unaware it impacted their Marine Models.

I did a search, and didn’t see this posted, and with all the new members, I thought it might be useful to share.
