Plain-English summary

Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2025 KME Panther and Ferrara Cinder emergency vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the vehicle's display may stop responding to touch commands or fail to power on. This failure prevents the activation of exterior emergency lights, fire fighting equipment, and other emergency systems.

A loss of exterior lights can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, inoperative equipment can delay emergency response, which increases the risk of injury. The source does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this defect.

Ferrara will work with Hale Products to update the firmware and install a monitor system free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 21, 2026. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006 for more information.
