Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. is recalling certain 2015-2017 fire trucks and emergency vehicles equipped with specific C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous. A component within the shift unit may become damaged, preventing operators from switching power output between the vehicle's wheels and add-on equipment like water pumps. If this occurs, once a fire truck arrives at an emergency scene, it may not be able to pump water to help extinguish fires, which increases the risk of injury.
KME will notify vehicle owners and authorize dealers to inspect and repair the affected transmissions at no cost. The recall began on October 11, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3926.
