Kme recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corp. (KME) is recalling certain 2015 and 2017 KME Commercial Skid vehicles equipped with Kubota Diesel Powered Portable Pumps, part number 200779, revisions A through C, supplied by Hale Products. These pumps may be improperly wired, causing the Oil Pressure and Temperature warning lamps to not illuminate when needed.
What could happen
If the warning lamps are not operable, the user may not be warned that there is a problem with the pump's engine. Failure of the pump's engine may inhibit the ability to contain a fire, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
KME will notify owners, and dealers will reverse the wires leading to the warning/indicators or provide a plug-in wire repair harness, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2018. Owners may contact KME customer service at 1-800-235-3928.
