Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain retaining rings, part number 077-0750-21-0, that secure the pressure relief valve in the water pumps used for fire fighting. These rings may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the available water pressure.
A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Hale will notify the affected purchasers, and dealers will install a remedy kit, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2017. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569. Hale's number for this recall is SB-149.
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.
