What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (aerial firetruck) where the defect increases the risk of injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2015-2026 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity 107-foot ladder and 110-foot platform aerial firetrucks equipped with a single rear axle. The recall addresses a defect where the firm-on-ground system light may remain illuminated even after the rear stabilizer loses contact with the ground.
A false firm-on-ground indicator light may lead to using the aerial device when the vehicle may shift during aerial operation, increasing the risk of injury. No specific number of affected units or reported injuries is provided in the source text.
Pierce will provide instructions on how to update the vehicle software and perform an aerial device functional check, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 29, 2026. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
