Recall campaigns
Defect, as filed: Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain 2003-2018 Supreme Signature Van, Iner-City, Kold King, and Service Body trucks, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
Consequence: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: Supreme will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2018. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-352-4921 or Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 or they may also visit www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

Defect, as filed: Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain 2007-2017 Signature Van and Kold King vehicles equipped with oval taillights installed in the rear corner posts. The affected vehicles have rear reflex reflectors that may have been mounted more than 60 inches above the road surface. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence: A reflector that is mounted too high may not be effectively illuminated by headlights at night, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Supreme will notify owners, and will provide new rear reflex reflectors for any vehicle whose existing reflector height exceeds 60 inches, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2017. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-642-4889.
