FWIW when I submitted the form on the website, the date code on the old one from 2008 didn't match the format that the website expected, so I fudged it.

I did not receive a tracking number to track replacement coming to my house.
But like every thing I do, keep good records for documentation / and give them time.
Too funny, just as I posted I got a email from them.
Thank you for participating in Kidde’s fire extinguisher replacement program. Customer safety is our priority and we are pleased by the strong response to our recall announcement. However, due to high demand the most comparable replacement for your unit is backordered.
We regret any inconvenience this has caused and are working diligently to fulfill your order as quickly as possible.
OK I have two older, 1980's model Kidde extinguishers among my various extinguishers. Just small models, under bathroom sinks. Definitely impacted by the recall, but prior to having the date code printed on the body. That said, their words/instructions don't match the website for entering. Pretty much a PITA. But I got the system to accept the two. A few weeks later I get an email asking for me to make sure, which I did and they said "OK". Then I got a FedEx email with tracking number, came home one day and large box was on the porch. Open said box and there is one, single, nice fire extinguisher Pro 4 TCM-9 P210-3 not related at all to the two small models.
They appear to be shipping FedEx Home/Ground I got an e-mail saying they were coming but because I have inbound tracking notifications turned on in my FedEx account.
I guess I DO have another extinguisher on the way. Received another FedEx message. I THINK the model numbers from the 1980's mean something different. Very odd.
Thanks for the "heads up". My RPS-1 10BC was on the list. The serial number was not where it was in the pictures, but I finally found it. Purchase date was about 1985. Its dial says it needs recharging after 32 years. If the new one lasts that long I'll long be dead.
Received another unexpected one a little while ago and finally had time today to call and ask what to do with it; I was ready to send it back but they told me to keep it.
FedEx just delivered another one today.
This recall campaign seems to be a little disorganized...
