EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Smeal Holding, LLC (Smeal) is recalling one 2021 Pumper Fire Apparatus fire truck equipped with a Cummins generator set. The lifting cables may be improperly crimped.
- What it can cause
- An improperly crimped cable may come out of place during a lifting operation, possibly causing the generator set to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will inspect the lifting cable, and either replace the cable or install a warning label, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 12, 2021. Owners may contact Smeal's customer service at 1-800-867-6478. Smeal's number for this recall is 21015.
- 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.nhtsa.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 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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 one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Smeal vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 6 times before this, most recently in January 2021 as 21V029000. 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 Smeal Holding, LLC with NHTSA on October 15, 2021 as campaign 21V810000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
