BTW, the powder in most dry chem extinguishers is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), potassium bicarbonate (very similar to baking soda), or monoammonium phosphate, all of which become corrosive when they become damp/wet. If you haven't done so already, do a through cleanup.
The dealership might have only one type of fire extinguisher, One for all classes. Class A, B and C. It's cheaper that way, and they are cover.
