18V746000 · Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/Panel
Reported: 2018-10-22 (October 22, 2018) · Model years: 2015, 2017
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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
