- A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Ferrara will notify owners, and Ferrara certified dealers or technicians will replace the relief valve retaining ring with one that is stainless steel, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
