   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine / Diesel

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain fire trucks equipped with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rods which transfer energy from the piston to the crankshaft are defective and can result in seizure of the piston pin. A piston pin seizure can result in a mission-disabling engine failure.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Pierce is working with cummins to replace the connecting rods free of charge. Owners may contact pierce at 1-888-974-3723 or cummins at 1-800-diesels.

    Suspension

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Certain fire trucks equipped with holland/neway air suspension systems, a transverse beam castings may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension?s transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Holland is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. Owners may contact holland at 616-396-6501 or pierce at 1-888-974-3723.
