Plain-English summary
Hale Products Inc. is recalling certain portable pumps powered by Yanmar 9 horsepower diesel engines. These units were manufactured between March 1, 2007, and December 11, 2015. The recall involves 177 affected units.
The defect involves a dashboard warning light that incorrectly identifies low oil pressure when it actually warns of low battery charge. If an operator shuts off the pump to add oil based on this mislabeled light, the pump may fail to restart due to a weak battery. This failure could hinder fire suppression capabilities, increasing the risk of injury.
Hale will notify purchasers and provide a replacement label to affix over the oil warning icon on the pump panel. The recall began on April 18, 2016. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
