    Structure / Body / Door

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Pierce manufacturing (pierce) is recalling certain model year 2005, 2008-2011 arrow xt, custom contender, dash, enforcer, impel, quantum, saber, and velocity 75 foot hal (heavy aluminum ladder) fire apparatus bodies vehicles manufactured from may 17,2005, through october 13, 2011, that may be equipped with dual scba cylinder storage compartments.

    Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Pierce manufacturing (pierce) is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 arrow xtand velocity, model year 2008-2011 custom contender, impel, quantum and model year 2009-2011 saber emergency trucks, equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) modules, manufactured from december 19, 2007, through october 7, 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Pierce is working with meritor wabco and will replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on december 16, 2011. Owners may contact meritor wabco at 1-248-435-8001 or pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

The meritor wabco ex225 rear disc brake caliper may interfere with the onspot automatic tire chain brackets. This interference may restrict the caliper from full movement.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If this interference occurs, braking performance may be reduced without warning and a crash may occur.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will install new automatic tire chain brackets. The new brackets provide additional clearance for the full actuation of the disc brake calipers. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began in july 2010. Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

    Report filed by PIERCE MANUFACTURING. Manufacturer campaign number 39-0139830.

    Pierce is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2010 arrow xt, quantum, and velocity emergency vehicles manufactured from august 11, 2009, through may 20, 2010. The rear brake slack adjusters may interfere with the automatic tire chain brackets. The interference occurs at near full stroke of the slack adjusters. Due to the varying automatic slack adjuster movement, the slack adjuster may contact the tire chain bracket.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

The engine may shut down unexpectedly when a diesel particulate filter over temperature condition is detected.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Unexpected emergency vehicle engine shutdown under certain conditions could hamper rescue operations and place the public at risk.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Owners will be notified by detroit diesel and detroit diesel will repair the vehicles free of charge by reprogramming the engine control logic to illuminate a malfunction indicator light without requesting engine shutdown.
