Thanks for the heads up Bamby.
I'd never heard of Kidde extinguishers before, so I'm safe for this recall.

I have two I keep in each vehicle I bought in 2016. Sure enough on their web site the serial numbers match those in recall. I filled out the form on Kidde web site and have two replacements coming. Easy Peasy. This recall is gonna cost them some $$$$.

All my other extinguishers are all First Alert.

Well, I've found 10 extinguishers so far that have been recalled. I submitted the online form.

Doc - take a look at this PDF. It lists the different brands recalled.

Kidde made them for several companies. Unless your extinguisher(s) are listed as being made by First Alert, I'd have them checked against the list. I have a pile of extinguishers sitting in my office (the ones not made by First Alert). Of the 11 sitting here, 10 were in fact made and recalled by Kidde. This includes brands like Sears.
