EquipmentReported January 12, 2021 · 2 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Smeal Holding, LLC (Smeal) is recalling certain 2020 Aerial and Pumper vehicles, equipped with battery-powered 3600 wireless remote controller units used to control the movement of electric firefighting monitors in firefighting vehicles. The monitor is used to direct the water stream and adjust the spray pattern. The wireless remote controller's sleep mode is disabled, which results in the batteries discharging faster than normal.
Risk
Inability to use the wireless remote controller may hinder the firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Smeal will notify owners, and dealers will ask the customer to return the affected controller to Akron Brass for a software update, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2021. Owners may contact Smeal customer service at 1‑800‑867‑6478. Smeal's number for this recall is 20-17.
