EQUIPMENT

Issued by Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. · Reported Dec 23, 2016 · 82 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling certain model year 2011-2017 Predator Aerial and Predator Panther Aerial, 2014 Predator TDA, 2014-2017 Predator SS TDA, and 2012-2017 Predator SS Aerial fire trucks. In the affected vehicles, water may leak into the ladder position sensor allowing the ladder to make contact with the vehicle or be placed off of the short jack side of the truck.

Consequence

If the ladder contacts the truck or is placed off of the short jack side of the truck there may be a increased risk of injury.

Remedy

KME will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the ladder position sensor mount and bearing system, replacing them as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 8, 2017. Owners may contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3926.
