Component / system

Defect

Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2022 Commercial HV 507, 2020-2021 Commander, and 2021 Panther ARFF vehicles equipped with Cummins generator sets. The lifting cables may be improperly crimped.

Risk / consequence

An improperly crimped cable may come out of place during a lifting operation, possibly causing the generator set to fall, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Cummins will inspect the lifting cable, and either replace the cable or install a warning label, free of charge. Vehicles were repaired in October 2021. Owners may contact Rosenbauer's customer service at 1-651-462-1000 or Cummins' customer service at 1-800-286-6467.

Chronology of events

1. Sep 21, 2021

   On September 21, 2021, Martin Myers from Cummins emailed me the letter to their OEMs as well as a copy of their 573 filings and the respective generator set serial numbers impacted by the recall. At this time, I request the corresponding PO numbers which I received 9/22/21. I reviewed the PO details in our ERP system and sent to our Purchasing Dept to help clarify on 9/24/21. At the same time, I alerted Production of a ship-hold since most were still in Production. As of 9/27/21, we are working with the local authorized Cummins service provider to inspect, remedy and repair as necessary. We will address these before shipment.
