The short version

Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. reported a problem with the power train manual transmission. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected vehicles may be equipped with certain C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous. This transmission sends power to the wheels of an emergency response vehicle or powers an add-on unit such as a water pump used for fighting fires.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the power output cannot be changed, once the fire truck arrives at the scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, increasing the risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

KME will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the transmissions, free of charge.
