What this recall means for you
The SmartFoam 6.5 foam pump system on this emergency vehicle, which runs on a 12 volt power supply, can overheat and fail. When that happens, the fire-fighting foam chemical cannot be injected, so it is unavailable to fight a fire.
If foam is not available, firefighting and vapor mitigation efforts can be affected, which raises the risk of injury to bystanders and emergency personnel. Owners are being notified, and the recall began October 15, 2019.
The remedy is free. A Hale dealer will replace the 12 volt SmartFoam 6.5 system with a 24 volt system and a voltage converter. Owners can contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or Hale at 1-800-533-3569, and should check their vehicle's VIN for any open recalls.
