Defect description

Rosenbauer Motors (Rosenbauer) is recalling one 2018 Commander emergency vehicle equipped with Smart Foam 6.5-12 systems. The foam pump system can overheat and fail, causing fire fighting foam chemical to be unavailable to fight a fire.

Safety risk

If the fire fighting foam chemical injection is unavailable, it can impact the fire fighting and/or vapor mitigation efforts, which increases the risk of injury to bystanders and emergency personnel.

Manufacturer remedy

Rosenbauer will notify the owner, and a dealer will replace the SmartFoam 6.5 12 volt systems with SmartFoam 6.5 24 volt systems and a voltage converter, free of charge. The recall began March 10, 2020. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.

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.
