Should I Contact The EMA?

When was this? I don't remember them having 3016s, only the 4008s. Then again, I haven't lived in this area for too long either.

You're right They were 4008s not 3016s but theres not a whole lot of difference in the overall body design its still a giant wind catch. Anyway here's the story

All the 3016s are scheduled to be replaced anyway, since Whelen no longer makes parts for it.

I think that Whelen makes a rotator upgrade kit for the 3016, but if one is going to spend the money to do the retrofit, they might as well buy a new unit.

I don't understand. If the rotator has any problems can't they just unbolt the fiberglass head and stick it on a new rotator assembly? At least it looked possible on the 4008 I saw in person at the Plano city lot.

If you really want them to listen, say that it could fall off and kill or injure someone and they could sue. I'm not saying for you to do that, but that usually gets them on their toes.

Or say a bunch of kids can go and knock it over.

The rotor could easily be replaced.
