For the 2009 HME 1871. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your HME been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A HME dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2009 HME 1871 recalls, newest first

November 10, 2011NHTSA 11V545000346 vehicles potentially affected

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Summary
Hme corporation is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2012 fire trucks manufactured from January 16, 2009, through November 1, 2011, built with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) system manufactured from September 15, 2005 through September 1, 2011, with part number 446 065 027 0. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
Consequence
If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Hme will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on January 19, 2012. Owners may contact hme at 1-616-534-1463.

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Diesel

Summary
Hme is recalling model year 2009 1871 fire trucks built on cummins' diesel engine. The vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. Due to an issue with the logic in the ECM software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.
Consequence
This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
Remedy
Hme is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge. Please see 09E-046. Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357).
