| Defect Summary | 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 Summary | 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. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Pierce is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 fire trucks manufactured between april 1, 2008 and september 30, 2009, equipped with cummins isb cm2150, isc cm2150, isl cm2150, ism cm876, and isx cm871 model diesel engines. the vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. due to an issue with the logic in the ecm software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in inhibit mode when it is not. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Pierce is working with cummins to repair the engines. cummins is conducting this campaign and will provide the remedy free of charge. please see cummins recall campaign 09e-046. the safety recall is expected to begin during october 2009. owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357) or pierce at 1-920-832-3000. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Pierce is recalling 15 my 2007-2008 dash, enforcer, impel, quantum and velocity fire trucks equipped with arvinmeritor rear disc brakes and hendrickson firemaax suspension. interference with the brake caliper adjuster bolt sleeve and the suspension beam may occur. this interference may occur if the right hand and left hand brake components were assembled on the wrong side of the axle. the adjuster bolt is designed to rotate as the brake pads wear. if the sleeve becomes damaged, the sleeve may prevent the adjuster from rotating. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the adjuster can not rotate, brake performance may be compromised and a crash may occur. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will adjust the bolt sleeve and the proper components free of charge. all owners have been notified by arvinmeritor. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Pierce is recalling 185 model year 2008 and 2009 custom fire trucks manufactured between january 1, 2008 and may 31, 2009, equipped with meritor wabco steering angle sensors (sas). internal friction can develop between the sensor gears and the sensor housing as a result of external forces experienced on the vehicle including vibration. if developed friction is great enough, the driving tab of the sas can shear as the driver turns the steering wheel. | |||||||||||||||
