Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. is recalling certain fire fighting vehicles from 2015-2018, including Predator SS Tanker, Commercial Pumper, Panther Aerial, and Aerial models built on Freightliner or Navistar chassis. These vehicles are equipped with Hale pressure relief valves that have a defect: rings securing the valves may corrode after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open unexpectedly. When this happens, water pressure available for fire fighting is reduced, which could hinder fire fighting efforts and increase the risk of injury.
KME will notify vehicle owners and KME dealers will install a remedy kit at no charge. The recall began January 8, 2018. Owners should contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3926 or Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
