There are 7 recalls affecting systems such as the fuel injection system, electrical wiring, hydraulic components, and fuse boxes. These recalls address risks including fuel leaks, electrical shocks, and mechanical failures, with remedies provided free of charge by the manufacturer.
- Fuel system leaks. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and injectors on certain cylinders may crack due to fatigue, causing high-pressure fuel leaks with a fire risk. Owners will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators. (NHTSA Recall 22V095000)
- Fuel rail sealing issue. The sealing washer in the high-pressure fuel rail assembly may not seat correctly, leading to fuel leaks and increased fire risk. Dealers will inspect and replace components as needed. (NHTSA Recall 21V790000)
- Electrical wiring defects. Insufficient voltage or cracked wiring insulation may cause aerial controls to fail and expose operators to shock hazards. Affected vehicles will be inspected and serviced with new components. (NHTSA Recall 21V282000)
- Fuse box contamination. Missing O-Ring seals on fuse boxes may allow moisture or contaminants in, risking overheating or malfunction that could contribute to a crash. Replacement fuse boxes will be provided. (NHTSA Recall 20V104000)
- Aerial equipment malfunction. Malfunctions in the self-leveling function could cause the aerial bucket to move beyond the intended level, increasing injury risk. Controls will be reprogrammed and hydraulic systems modified. (NHTSA Recall 21V283000)
