Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ferrara Fire Apparatus is recalling certain 2015-2016 fire apparatus vehicles (Inferno, Igniter, Cinder, Ultra, and Intruder models) built on Freightliner and International chassis between August 3, 2015, and April 29, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with pumps that have 6-inch intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during manufacturing. If the strainer comes apart during use, parts of it and debris could enter the pump and damage it, forcing the operator to shut down the pump and reducing firefighting effectiveness, which could increase the risk of injury.
Ferrara will notify owners and ask them to check their strainers for missing solder at the joints. Any strainers found to be missing solder will be replaced by Ferrara at no cost. Owners can contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006 or Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
