Midwest Fire Recalls 2021-2022 All-Poly Series Fire Trucks

Midwest Fire is recalling 2021-2022 All-Poly Series fire trucks because a software defect may prevent shifting between road and pump modes, potentially delaying emergency response.

What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect may delay emergency response and increase the risk of injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company is recalling certain 2021-2022 All-Poly Series fire trucks equipped with a split-shaft transmission. The recall involves 11 vehicles.

The Class1 Es-Key multiplex system software may prevent shifting between road-to-pump and pump-to-road modes. This inability to shift modes may delay emergency response, increasing the risk of injury.

Midwest Fire will provide instruction and hardware needed to reprogram the multiplex system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 15, 2022. Owners may contact Midwest's customer service at 1-800-344-2059 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
