What is wrong
Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain 6 Inch Suction Strainers, part number 010-0030-00-0, manufactured July 15, 2015, to March 30, 2016. The affected strainers may have been improperly soldered leaving the strainer weak, which can cause the strainer to break and allow the strainer and debris to enter and possibly damage the fire pump.
What can happen
If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Hale will replace the defective strainers with new strainers, next day air, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2016. Owners may contact Hale Products at 1-800-533-3569.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
