If the aerial continues moving when the tether is unplugged, it can increase the risk of an injury.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the aerial continues moving when the tether is unplugged, it can increase the risk of an injury.
A fluid leak combined with arcing between the power stud and the exposed wire can increase the risk of a fire.
Unintended rotation of the ladder can increase the risk of injury.
If the ladder contacts the truck or is placed off of the short jack side of the truck there may be a increased risk of injury.
If the water way trolley separates from the ladder, it may fall, increasing the risk of injury to those nearby.
Two 2015 KME PREDATOR AERIALs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
