Marion Fire Apparatus Recalled for Electrical Wiring Fire Risk

Marion Body Works is recalling 2020-2022 fire apparatus vehicles due to a firmware defect that can cause electrical circuits to overheat and increase fire risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (electrical system) that explicitly increases the risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2022 Pumper, Rescue, Aerial, and RPM vehicles equipped with Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes. The recall involves 25 vehicles.

The defect involves the firmware in the Weldon nodes, which may fail to shut off the output pin during a short circuit or wiring failure. This results in overloaded electrical circuits that can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
