What's wrong?
The 2019-2021 Seagrave Attacker and Capital fire apparatus with a Cummins X12 engine use hydraulic power steering assist. That system uses pressurized fluid to help the driver turn the front wheels, especially at low speed or during tight positioning. A spin-on power steering filter cleans that fluid before it returns through the steering system.
On these vehicles, the filter was not tightened to the manufacturer's specification. A loose filter can back off from the filter housing and open a gap where power steering fluid leaks out. As the fluid level drops, the steering assist system loses the pressure it needs to help the driver steer.
Owners or crews can notice power steering fluid leaking from the area between the filter and the filter housing. That visible leak is the warning sign. If fluid is present around the filter, the vehicle needs inspection so the filter torque and any fluid loss are corrected.
