04- Other#2017609
9 units affected
On certain vehicles, over time, the relief valve of the fire pump may fail due to the retaining ring not having adequate corrosion resistance. If the relief valve were to fail, the fire pump would not be able to build adequate water pressure, which in the case of a fire, may increase the risk of injury during firefighting operations. Correction: Dealers or KME technicians will inspect, and replace retaining ring as necessary.

2 units affected
On certain vehicles, if an operator maintains activation of the foot control switch of the ladder after releasing the joystick control, the ladder could rotate into an unsafe position. This could increase the risk of injury to the operator, or bystanders near the ladder. Correction: KME will update vehicle software.
- Structure#2017046
3 units affected
On certain vehicles, water may leak into the ladder position sensor and could cause the sensor to malfunction. This could allow for the ladder to make contact with the vehicle or be placed off of the short jack side of the truck, which could increase the risk injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the ladder position sensor mount and bearing system, and replace as necessary.
- Other#2017042
2 units affected
On certain vehicles, the aerial device water way trolley could separate from the ladder. If this were to occur, the trolley could become disconnected from the ladder and fall, increasing the risk of injury to nearby bystanders.
