Recall 16E029000: Engine And Engine Cooling, Engine, Diesel

NHTSA recall 16E029000 · announced April 6, 2016 · Hale · 177 units affected

The problem

Hale Products Inc. (Hale) is recalling certain Portable Pumps powered with Yanmar 9 horsepower diesel engines, manufactured March 1, 2007, to December 11, 2015. These pumps may incorrectly identify the warning light on the dash panel to warn of low oil pressure when the warning light actually warns of low battery charge.

The risk

If the operator shuts off the pump to add oil due to the mislabeled light, the pump may not restart due to having a weak battery. If the pump cannot be operated, fire suppression may be hindered, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Hale will notify the purchasers of the pump and will provide a replacement label to affix over the oil warning icon on the pump panel. The recall began on April 18, 2016. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569.
