Hme recall: Electronic stability control (esc)

What is wrong

Hme 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 number 446 065 027 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.

What could happen

If 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.

The fix

Hme will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on january 19, 2012. Owners may contact hme at 1-616-534-1463.
