What's wrong?
The rear hose reel mounting plate on 2021-2025 Midwest Fire All-Poly Series fire trucks is the formed aluminum plate that holds the rear hose reel to the truck body. During service, that plate has to carry the reel's weight while the truck moves, vibrates, and works at a scene. The recalled plate is made from 3/16-inch 5052-H32 aluminum and uses radius bends to support the reel assembly.
In NHTSA campaign 25V558, the problem is cracking at those bend areas. The bend radius concentrates stress, and vibration during service can start and spread cracks in the plate. Once the plate fractures, the hose reel is no longer held securely and can detach from the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or fleet operator is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear symptom before the mounting plate breaks.
