Pierce Recalls 2019-2023 Tower Trucks Due to Wiring Harness Defect

Pierce is recalling 2019-2023 Arrow XT, Enforcer, and Velocity tower trucks because a wiring harness may not be secured, risking basket tipping and injury.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural/electrical defect in a vehicle that can cause the aerial basket to tip, explicitly increasing the risk of injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2019-2023 Arrow XT, Enforcer, and Velocity mid-mount tower trucks equipped with an aerial platform basket. The recall involves 314 vehicles.

The electrical connector to the aerial turntable wiring harness may not be properly secured. This can result in connector corrosion, which affects the leveling ability of the platform basket. An inability for the platform basket to maintain level can result in the basket tipping, increasing the risk of injury.

Pierce will replace the aerial turntable wiring harness free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 14, 2023. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
