Rappels 2018 KME Predator Rescue

• Structure#201934412 juillet 2019

  23 unités visées

  Problème : Sur certains engins d'incendie construits avec une cabine personnalisée, les fusibles hydrauliques du système de levage de la cabine pourraient ne pas fonctionner correctement. Si le système de levage hydraulique tombe en panne et que la barre de verrouillage mécanique n'est pas enclenchée, la cabine risque de s'abaisser brusquement. Risques pour la sécurité : Une cabine qui s'abaisse soudainement peut créer un risque de blessure. Mesures correctives : La compagnie doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander de communiquer avec leur concessionnaire pour planifier le remplacement des fusibles hydrauliques des vérins de levage de la cabine.

  Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Predator Rescue, SS Rescue, SS Aerial, Aerial, SS TDA and Tanker and Predator Panther Rescue and Aerial, 2016-2020 Predator Panther Pumper and Predator SS Pumper, 2017-2020 Predator Panther Tanker and Predator Pumper, 2017 Predator SS Tanker and 2017-2018 Predator TDA. In the event of a hydraulic system failure while raising or lowering the cab, the hydraulic velocity fuses may not activate and lock the cab in place to prevent the cab from quickly closing.

  Risque: If the velocity fuses do not activate and stop the cab from lowering, the cab may hit occupants working underneath, increasing the risk of an injury.

  Correctif: KME will notify owners, and dealers will replace the velocity fuses for each cab lift cylinder, free of charge. The recall began August 29, 2019. Owners may contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3928.
