## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Western Star 4700, 4900, 5700, and 6900 trucks manufactured from July 23, 2013, through December 4, 2014, and equipped with certain Kidde disposable handheld fire extinguishers.  These fire extinguishers may not fully discharge as designed when the lever is repeatedly pressed and released.

The recall began on May 26, 2015.  Affected owners may contact Kidde directly toll free at \(855\) 283\-7991 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-745\-8000.
