What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Smeal Holding LLC (Smeal) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Aerial Fire Apparatus vehicles. The tube steel used in the base rail of the aerial device may be missing joint welds, which may cause the aerial device to become unsteady and possibly collapse.

The risk

The aerial device may collapse increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Smeal has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the aerial devices, replacing any sections with missing welds, free of charge. The recall began May 13, 2019. Owners may contact Smeal customer service at 1-800-867-6478. Smeal's number for this recall is 1911.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
