What is wrong
Waterous Company (Waterous) is recalling certain Split-Shaft Transmission Shift Units manufactured April 9, 2015, to April 20, 2016. These shift units allow the user to select whether the Split-Shaft Transmission sends power to the wheels of an emergency response vehicle or powers an add-on unit such as a water pump used for fighting fires. A component within the shift unit may be damaged and as a result, the operator may not be able to switch the power output.
What can happen
If the power output cannot be changed, once the fire truck arrives at the scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Waterous will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the shift units and will work with them to remove, repair, and reinstall the shift units, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Waterous customer service at 1-651-450-5067.

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.
