EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
- The defect
- Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2018-2020 vehicles. The PTO will disengage causing the aerial to become inoperable due to loss of hydraulic power.
- What it can cause
- The aerial device may not be operational when needed at a fire or rescue scene, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Rosenbauer will notify owners, and dealers will change the solenoid and case on the Muncie PTO, free of charge. The recall began December 23, 2020. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 43 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rosenbauer vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in February 2020 as 20V108000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Rosenbauer America with NHTSA on November 23, 2020 as campaign 20V728000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
