Pierce Emergency Fire Vehicles Recalled for Aerial Device Cracks

Plain-English summary

Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2019-2020 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity emergency fire vehicles. This recall applies to vehicles built with a 107-foot or 110-foot aerial device.

A rectangular tube in the upper mid-section of the aerial device may develop cracks and corrosion. This condition could cause one of the tube walls to fail, making the aerial device unsteady. A failed tube may cause the aerial device to fall, increasing the risk of injury.

Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles for cracks or evidence of corrosion. If no issues are found, the tube will receive a treatment to prevent rust corrosion. If cracks or corrosion are present, the upper mid-section of the device will be replaced. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2020. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
