NHTSA recall campaign
21V100000
What was wrong
Defect
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling certain 2001-2020 TDA tractor-drawn aerial firetrucks. The Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) control module on the ladder trailer may have incorrect wire connections.
Risk
Incorrect wiring can cause the trailer brakes to not operate properly when the ABS system is activated. This could lead to loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
KME will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring and connections, and replace any incorrect hardware, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2021. Owners may contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3928.
