2017 KME COMMERCIAL SKID Recall

Campaign:: 18V746000 on 10/24/2018
Component:: Electrical system: instrument panel
Manufactured:: 07/30/2015 - 10/30/2017
Affected:: 8
Defect:: 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.
Correction:: 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 is expected to begin december 10, 2018. owners may contact kme customer service at 1-800-235-3928.
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.
