The Airworthiness Bulletin AWB 26-004 Issue 1 titled 'Chubb, Quell, Flameguard, Motorcraft, and Fire Smart - Fire Extinguisher Recall' addresses a product safety recall of certain dry powder fire extinguishers that may be installed on aircraft, particularly manned hot air balloons. The affected extinguishers were manufactured between 16 February 2010 and 8 July 2010 and bear specific serial numbers under the brands Chubb, Quell, Flameguard, Motorcraft, and Fire Smart. This recall highlights potential non-compliance with Australian/New Zealand standards for filling capacity, which could impact fire safety performance.
