There are five recalls concerning the 2016 FERRARA INFERNO, which mainly affect suspension, equipment, electrical systems, and power train components.
Recalls- Front suspension shock mounts. NHTSA recall 19V677000 affects 25 vehicles. The front shocks may separate from the upper mount, causing them to contact and damage the steering gear housing. This can cause a steering fluid leak and loss of power steering assist, increasing crash risk. Owners will be notified and repairs are free of charge.
- Pressure relief valves. NHTSA recall 18V094000 affects 66 vehicles. Rings securing the Hale pressure relief valves in water pumps may corrode and fail, causing valves to open and reduce water pressure. This can impair firefighting efforts and increase risk of injury. Valves will be replaced with stainless steel rings at no cost.
- Electrical touchscreen malfunction. NHTSA recall 16V544000 affects 24 vehicles. Class 1 Ultraview Touchscreens may activate switches falsely without operator knowledge, turning accessories on or off and potentially affecting vehicle performance. Units will be reprogrammed free of charge.
- Manual transmission shift units. NHTSA recall 16V581000 affects 57 vehicles. Certain split-shaft transmissions may have damaged components that prevent shifting power output, possibly disabling water pumps at emergency scenes. The shift unit assembly will be repaired free of charge.
- Pump intake strainers. NHTSA recall 16V445000 affects 60 vehicles. Intake strainers may have improper soldering causing them to come apart and allow debris into the pump, risking pump damage and firefighting impairment. Missing solder joints will be corrected at no cost.
Owners dealing with repeat repairs or unresolved recall issues should consider consulting their state’s lemon law resources for potential rights and remedies.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Inferno fire trucks equipped with independent front suspensions manufactured by Reyco Granning.

EQUIPMENT
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Inferno and International 4400, 2013-2016 Igniter, 2014-2017 Cinder and Freightliner M2 106, 2013-2014 Ember and 2013-2017 Kenworth T370 fire-fighting vehicles, equipped with Hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting. Rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.
Risk: A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

EQUIPMENT
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Inferno, Igniter, Cinder, Ultra, and Intruder vehicles built on Freightliner and International chassis manufactured August 3, 2015, to April 29, 2016, equipped with pumps to provide pressurized water to aid in fighting fires. These pumps have 6" intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during production and, as a result, the strainers may come apart during use, allowing parts of the strainer and debris to enter the pump, possibly damaging the pump.
Risk: If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
2016 FERRARA INFERNO
57 vehicles affected
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Inferno, Igniter, Intruder and Cinder fire trucks built on Freightliner and International chassis manufactured April 13, 2015, to May 30, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with certain C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous. This transmission sends power to the wheels of an emergency response vehicle or powers an add-on unit such as a water pump used for fighting fires. A component within the shift unit may be damaged and as a result, the operator may not be able to switch the power output.
Risk: If the power output cannot be changed, once the fire truck arrives at the scene, it may not be able to pump water to aid in extinguishing the fire, increasing the risk of injury.

These touchscreens may experience false switch activations that can happen without the operator's knowledge causing accessories to turn on or off, affecting vehicle performance.
Risk: The unintended turning on or off of accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.
