Electronic stability control (ESC)

Summary: Kovatch mobile equipment corporation (kme) is recalling certain 2010-2011 predator, predator ss, predator panther, and predator xl emergency vehicles manufactured from March 1, 2010 through October 10, 2011, equipped with feature code 04AZX meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) units.

Consequence: The vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Kme will notify owners, and dealers will install a new ESC module free of charge. The recall began on June 5, 2012. Owners may contact kme at 1-570-669-5154.
