Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company is recalling 19 of its 2022-2023 All-Poly Series Tanker-Pumper fire trucks. These vehicles are equipped with a split-shaft transmission and a Class 1 Es-Key multiplex system that contains a software error. This error can cause the truck to unexpectedly shift from road gear to pump gear while driving, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power. Midwest Fire will provide a USB drive and instructions to reprogram the software free of charge.

Risk

A sudden shift into pump gear while the vehicle is in motion causes an immediate loss of drive power to the wheels. This unexpected loss of propulsion can significantly increase the risk of a crash, especially in emergency response situations.
