What was wrong

Defect

HME, Inc. (HME) is recalling one 2015 SFO fire service chassis vehicle manufactured on July 31, 2015 and equipped with a drive axle manufactured by Marmon-Herrington. The affected axle may have hex nuts on the flange yoke that may not have been properly tightened.

Risk

If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

HME will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the torque and if necessary tighten the bolts, free of charge. The recall began on February 24, 2016. Owners may contact HME customer service at 1-616-534-1463.
