Smeal Holding, LLC is recalling 29 emergency response vehicles, including 2024-2025 Rear Mount Platform, Mid Mount Platform Aerial, and 2024 and 2026 125' Aerial models. These vehicles contain improperly manufactured hydraulic hoses that can separate and leak fluid due to a defective crimp. Dealers will inspect and replace the high-pressure hydraulic hose assembly free of charge to prevent equipment failure or fire.
A leak in the high-pressure hydraulic hoses can cause a sudden loss of hydraulic functions, making the aerial and outrigger equipment fail while in use. If the leaking fluid sprays onto hot engine or exhaust components, it also creates a significant fire risk.
Inspection and replacement of defective hydraulic hoses.
