Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain Fire Pump Engagement Pressure Switches, part number 200-2560-00-0. These pressure switches are used to initiate the fire pump gearbox engagement with an interlock module when retrofitted to existing air shift control for the fire pump. These switches may fail during extremely cold temperatures, preventing the truck's water pump from being put into gear.
If the interlock switch fails, it can delay water delivery when battling a fire, increasing the risk of injury.
Hale will replace the interlock module kit, free of charge, with kits that have passed a low temperature evaluation. The recall began on July 28, 2017. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569. Hale's number for this recall is SB-142.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
