  De l'eau pourrait pénétrer dans le capteur de position de l'échelle de certains véhicules et causer une défaillance du capteur. Cette défaillance pourrait faire en sorte que l'échelle entre en contact avec le véhicule ou qu'elle se positionne sur le côté du vérin court du camion, augmentant ainsi les risques de blessures et/ou de dommages aux biens. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent inspecter le support de fixation du capteur de position et le système de paliers de l'échelle et les remplacer au besoin.

  Sur certains véhicules, le chariot d'acheminement de l'eau aérien pourrait se séparer de l'échelle. Si tel était le cas, le chariot d'acheminement de l'eau pourrait se détacher de l'échelle et tomber, ce qui augmenterait les risques de blessures aux personnes se tenant à proximité. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent installer des garnitures de renforcement sur les brides de fixation du chariot d'acheminement.
