Defect SummaryPierce has decided that certain model year 1995-2008 arrow xt, dash, custom contender, lance, enforcer, pierce arrow, quantum, saber and commercial fire trucks manufactured from january 2, 1995, through january 21, 2008, contain a safety defect. these vehicles are equipped with fuel tank straps that may corrode due to winter road salt or liquid de-icing chemicals. if the fuel tank straps corrode sufficiently, the fuel tank supporting straps may fracture and the fuel tank may fall from the vehicle.
Consequence SummaryThe vehicles may lose power and stall. in addition, the fuel tank may rupture and spill diesel fuel on the roadway. either of these outcomes may cause a fire truck or surrounding vehicles to slip or slide on the roadway surface, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryFor fire trucks that are less than 10 years old, dealers will inspect the fuel tank straps and replace them if necessary with stainless steel straps free of charge. for vehicles that are older than 10 years, pierce is not offering a free remedy, but will offer for purchase replacement fuel tanks straps and provide instructions for installation. the safety recall began on august 27, 2011. owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

Defect SummaryCertain fire trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, 'seating systems.' the seat tether restrains the seat during pull testing as the suspension components are not designed to restrain the seat on their own. the suspension seat tethers are too long.

Defect SummaryOn certain fire trucks, interference may occur between the aerial front axle interlock sensor bracket and the front air brake hose. this condition occurs during full turn steering and full suspension jounce compression.
