Plain-English summary

Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2023-2024 Velocity, Enforcer, and Quantum fire trucks. The recall involves 8 vehicles where the tires mounted on the front steer axles are incompatible with the wheels. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars."

The incompatibility allows the tires to separate from the wheels, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
