What Happened
The fire extinguisher in your Silverado HD or other affected vehicle has a handle or button that you use to put out fires. In some cases, this part can get clogged or even break off, making it hard or impossible to use.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fire extinguisher doesn't work as it should, you could be at risk of serious injury from a fire that's not being extinguished. This is a serious situation that requires prompt attention.
Free Fix
Your dealer will provide a free replacement fire extinguisher, and you should contact them to schedule the replacement as soon as possible. You can also call the customer service number for your vehicle's brand for more information and to get started.
