The defect
Hale Products Inc (Hale) is recalling certain Kubota Diesel Powered Portable Pumps, part number 200779, revisions A through C. These pumps may be improperly wired, causing the Oil Pressure and Temperature warning lamps to not illuminate when needed.
The risk
If the warning lamps are not operable, the user may not be warned that there is a problem with the pump's engine. Failure of the pump's engine may inhibit the ability to contain a fire, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Hale will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the pumps, and dealers for those manufacturers will reverse the wires leading to the warning/indicators or provide a plug-in wire harness, free of charge. The recall began September 9, 2018. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569. Hale's number for this recall is SB-166.
