Recalls for 2013 Ferrara Ember

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT

Posted on: 2018-02-07
Description
Ferrara fire apparatus, inc.  (ferrara) is recalling certain 2015-2016 inferno and international 4400, 2013-2016 igniter, 2014-2017 cinder and freightliner m2 106, 2013-2014 ember and 2013-2017 kenworth t370 fire-fighting vehicles, equipped with hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting.  Rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.

Consequence
A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

Corrective Action
Ferrara will notify owners, and ferrara certified dealers or technicians will replace the relief valve retaining ring with one that is stainless steel, free of charge.  The recall began on february 12, 2018.  Owners may contact ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.

Notes
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.
