Also tell all your friends and families as well.

Thanks for the alert!

Our townhouse complex is so cheap they're still using units that pre-date this design, so I think we're OK...  :undecided:

Old as Dirt:

Thank you for the heads-up.

2 new fire extinguishers on the way.

Who knew, that a plastic handle could melt if exposed to fire......(tounge firmly planted into cheek), but hey, I'm getting 2 new for free.

Probably a little more serious than I make it, but I love the recall descriptions.
I had one on my 84 Ford Ranger for the gas cap.  The recall was if I was broadsided and overturned, there was a chance of fire.   :shocked:
I kinda figured that would be a possibility, and never did the recall...... :rolleyes:

Thanks, I do appreciate the heads up.
