Plain-English summary

Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Marauder II fire trucks manufactured between April 9, 2015, and April 20, 2016. The recall affects 28 vehicles that may be equipped with specific C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous. These transmissions are responsible for sending power to the wheels or powering add-on units, such as water pumps used for firefighting.

A component within the shift unit of the affected transmissions may be damaged. If this occurs, the operator may be unable to switch the power output. Consequently, once the fire truck arrives at a scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, which increases the risk of injury.

Seagrave will notify owners, and dealers will remove the shift unit assembly and replace the clevis pin and retaining rings free of charge. The recall began on August 26, 2016. Owners may contact Seagrave customer service at 1-715-823-1910 or by email at [email protected]. Seagrave's number for this recall is 16E059. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
