CarRecallWatch- Component
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- Problem
- Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling certain 2015 and 2017 KME Commercial Skid vehicles equipped with Kubota Diesel Powered Portable Pumps, part number 200779, revisions A through C, supplied by Hale Products. These pumps may be improperly wired, causing the Oil Pressure and Temperature warning lamps to not illuminate when needed.
- Risk
- If the warning lamps are not operable, the user may not be warned that there is a problem with the pump's engine. Failure of the pump's engine may inhibit the ability to contain a fire, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- KME will notify owners, and dealers will reverse the wires leading to the warning/indicators or provide a plug-in wire repair harness, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2018. Owners may contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3928.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain pumps on these fire trucks have wiring that can keep the oil pressure and temperature warning lights from turning on when they should. Without those warnings, the operator may not realize the pump engine is failing or overheating, which could reduce the ability to contain a fire and raise the risk of injury.
KME will notify owners, and authorized dealers will correct the problem free of charge by reversing the wires to the warning indicators or by installing a plug-in wire repair harness. Owners can contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3928 for more information. Check your vehicle's VIN for any open recalls, and schedule the repair with an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
