What is wrong
Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain Quenching Agent Level Pressure Sensors, Class 1 ITL Level Displays, manufactured May 1, 2015, to July 31, 2015. When the vehicle is stationary, the affected sensors may give an incorrect reading of the remaining fire fighting agent (typically water or firefighting foam) left in the tank.
What can happen
If there is an incorrect reading of agent in the tank, it can increase the risk of injury to the fire fighter if the tank unexpectedly runs out of agent.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Hale will notify owners, and dealers will either recalibrate the system or replace the pressure sensor, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Hale customer service 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.
