Summary

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.

Consequence

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.

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.
