Suspension

Filed Jun 17, 20151,500 milesSC

KME/KOVATCH AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS BUILT WITH A TAG AXLE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM POSE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR OCCUPANTS AND THE PUBLIC. THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS DESIGNED WITH SEVERAL FLAWS, OF WHICH KME KNOWS ABOUT. THE REAR TAG AXLE, AT TIMES DOES NOT LOCK OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE. ALSO, THE AIRBAG SUSPENSION IS NOT DESIGNED/INSTALLED PROPERLY, ALLOWING THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME DISTORTED AND RIDE ON THE SIDES OF THE BAG. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR PHOTOS OF 2 DIFFERENT TRUCKS.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
