Defect SummaryHme corporation is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2012 fire trucks manufactured from january 16, 2009, through november 1, 2011, built with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc) system manufactured from september 15, 2005 through september 1, 2011, with part numbers 446 065 020 0, 400 850 179 0, 400 850 195 0, 446 065 027 0, and 400 850 185 0. under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (esc) system. this might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
Consequence SummaryIf the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryHme will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. the manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a notification schedule. owners may contact hme at 1-616-534-1463.

Defect SummaryHme is recalling model year 2009 1871 fire trucks built on cummins' diesel engine. the vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. due to an issue with the logic in the ecm software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in inhibit mode when it is not.
Consequence SummaryThis condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
Corrective SummaryHme is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge. please see 09e-046. owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357).
