SAFETY RECALL NOTICE: 20V006


TO: Affected KME Dealers

KME has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year
2012-2015 and 2017 KME FireStix vehicles manufactured from June 2011 through November
2017.

Some KME Firestix aerials may have been shipped without lubricating oil in the swing drive.
The swing drive is a gearbox with a pinion that rotates the aerial by means of a hydraulic motor.
The gearbox is supposed to contain lubricating oil to reduce friction and protect internal gears
from corrosion. If the swing drive was not filled with lubricating oil, the internal gears could be
damaged potentially leading to seizing.

Owners will be notified by mail about the recall and will be instructed to contact their KME
Dealer or KME to have their swing drives inspected to verify the swing drives contain lubricating
oil. If they do not, the swing drives will be sent to the manufacturer to be repaired at no cost to
the owner. Estimated time for inspection is 2-4 hours. If required, the estimated time for repairs
is up to 16 weeks.

Please be reminded that it is a violation of Federal law for you deliver a new motor vehicle
or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment covered by this notification until this
defect has been remedied. Substantial civil penalties apply to violations of this law.

Your assistance with this recall is appreciated. Should you have any questions or concerns,
please contact KME Customer Service at (570) 669-5230.

Sincerely,

KME, Inc.
