Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corporation is recalling certain 2010-2011 Predator, Predator SS, Predator Panther, and Predator XL emergency vehicles manufactured between March 1, 2010 and October 10, 2011 that are equipped with Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) units. Under certain road and driving conditions, the ESC system may incorrectly calculate slip angle due to vehicle body roll and road inclination, causing it to mistakenly perceive an over-steering situation and apply the front axle outer wheel brake when not needed.
This defect can cause the vehicle to deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing crash risk. KME will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a new ESC module at no cost. The recall began on June 5, 2012. Affected owners should contact KME at 1-570-669-5154.
