E-One Classic Fire Recall 18V749: Pump Warning Lights May Not Work, Hiding Engine Problems

NHTSA campaign 18V749, reported October 22, 2018, 4 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain emergency fire vehicles with Kubota diesel-powered portable pumps may have been wired incorrectly. As a result, the oil pressure and temperature warning lamps may not light up when they should, so the operator may not be alerted to a problem with the pump's engine.

If the engine fails without warning, the pump may not be able to supply water to fight a fire, which increases the risk of injury. Owners should contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 to confirm whether their vehicle is affected. The remedy is free: dealers will reverse the wires leading to the warning indicators, or Hale Products will provide a plug-in wire harness at no charge. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
