02- Electrical#2018043
9 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with an IOTA 50 amp transfer switch which is used to switch power between on-vehicle generator and shoreline power. Under certain heavy duty cycles, the lugs on the buss bar may loosen. Under high electrical loads, loose electrical connections could cause the circuit to overheat, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the IOTA switch.
- Other#2016240
10 units affected
On certain fire trucks, the components that make up the 6" water intake strainer may have been improperly soldered during the manufacturing process. This could lead to degradation in pump performance which could reduce firefighting effectiveness, and potentially increase the risk of injury. Correction: Hale Products recommends an inspection be performed by pulling caps and any suction adapters off of the intake and check the strainer for faulty soldering. If the strainer is found to be missing solder at the joint, Hale Products will send a replacement strainer directly to affected owners.
