Recall Summary:
Ferrara fire apparatus, inc. (ferrara) is recalling certain 2015-2016 inferno and International 4400, 2013-2016 igniter, 2014-2017 cinder and freightliner m2 106, 2013-2014 ember and 2013-2017 kenworth t370 fire-fighting vehicles, equipped with hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting.

Ferrara will notify owners, and ferrara certified dealers or technicians will replace the relief valve retaining ring with one that is stainless steel, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in February 2018. Owners may contact ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
