WATEROUS SPLIT-SHAFT TRANSMISSION
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Waterous Company is recalling certain Split-Shaft Transmission Shift Units manufactured between April 9, 2015, and April 20, 2016, that are used in fire trucks and other emergency response vehicles. These shift units allow operators to direct engine power either to the vehicle's wheels or to equipment like water pumps. A damaged internal component may prevent operators from switching the power output, which could leave a fire truck unable to pump water when it arrives at a fire scene, creating a risk of injury.
Waterous will work with the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the affected shift units to remove, repair, and reinstall them at no cost. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Waterous customer service at 1-651-450-5067.
