    Parking Brake / Conventional / Air

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Igniter and Ultra firetrucks. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor axle assemblies that were built with disc brakes using MGM J24 series air brake chambers. In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Ferrara has notified all affected owners and has replaced all of the affected brake chambers. Owners may contact Ferrara at 1-800-443-9006.

    Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Ferrara is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 inferno and igniter vehicles equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC), manufactured from april 2009, through october 2011. The ESC module may cause the ESC system to activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions and may adversely affect the slip angle calculation by the ESC module.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the front axle outer wheel service brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable by the ESC. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Ferrara will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on october 25, 2011. Owners may contact ferrara at 1-225-567-7100.
