Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
E-One Incorporated is recalling one 2018 Typhoon emergency vehicle equipped with a Hale SmartFoam 6.5 foam pump system with a 12-volt power supply. The recall addresses a defect where the foam pump system can overheat and fail, causing the firefighting foam chemical to be unavailable to fight a fire.
If the firefighting foam chemical injection is unavailable, it can impact firefighting and vapor mitigation efforts, which increases the risk of injury to bystanders and emergency personnel. No specific injuries or deaths have been reported in the source text.
E-One will notify owners, and a Hale dealer will replace the SmartFoam 6.5 12-volt system with a SmartFoam 6.5 24-volt system and a voltage converter, free of charge. The recall began on October 15, 2019. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612 or Hale at 1-800-533-3569. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
