The issue
On certain vehicles, over time, the relief valve of the fire pump may fail due to the retaining ring not having adequate corrosion resistance. If the relief valve were to fail, the fire pump would not be able to build adequate water pressure, which in the case of a fire, may increase the risk of injury during firefighting operations. Correction: Dealers or KME technicians will inspect, and replace retaining ring as necessary.
Description (français)
La soupape de surpression de la pompe à incendie de certains véhicules pourrait, avec le temps, faire défaut car son anneau de retenue n'est pas résistant à la corrosion. Si la soupape de surpression faisait défaut, la pompe à incendie ne serait pas en mesure de créer une pression d'eau suffisante ce qui pourrait, en cas de lutte contre un feu, augmenter les risques de blessures corporelles. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires ou le techniciens KME doivent inspecter et remplacer, au besoin, l'anneau de retenue.
