PIERCE ENFORCER

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2020 Enforcer, 2021-2022 Velocity, and 2023 Saber vehicles equipped with a specific rear bumper option. The bumper may partially obstruct the rear lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: Partially obstructed rear lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

TIRES

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Enforcer, Quantum, and Velocity fire trucks. The tires mounted on the front steer axles are incompatible with the wheels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars."

Risk: The tires can separate from the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Arrow XT, Enforcer, and Velocity mid-mount tower trucks equipped with an aerial platform basket. The electrical connector to the aerial turntable wiring harness may not be properly secured, which can result in connector corrosion and affect the leveling ability of the platform basket.

Risk: An inability for the platform basket to maintain level can result in the basket tipping, increasing the risk of injury.

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:BOOM/CRANE/LADDER

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2018-2023 Velocity, Impel, Enforcer, and Arrow XT 110-foot aerial trucks. When the aerial platform is extended to its maximum angle, the platform mounting bracket may interfere with the basket handrail hinge peg and cause the handrail to detach from the basket.

Risk: A basket handrail that unexpectedly detaches from the basket may increase the risk of injury to first responders using the handrail or to individuals on the ground near the vehicle.

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2022 Saber, Enforcer, and Arrow XT fire trucks. The tie rod clamps may have been improperly heat-treated, causing them to crack and allowing the tie rods to separate.

Risk: Tie rod separation can result in a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2010-2022 Pierce Velocity, Enforcer, Arrow XT, Quantum, and Dash CF fire trucks. Stokes basket mounting brackets may be insufficiently welded.

Risk: The left and/or right brackets can fail, allowing the stokes basket to fall and increasing the risk of injury.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2015-2021 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Quantum and Velocity fire trucks. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.

Risk: A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

EQUIPMENT

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling 2020 Arrow XT, Impel, and Enforcer vehicles equipped with battery-powered 3600 wireless remote controller units used to control the movement of electric firefighting monitors in firefighting vehicles. The monitor is used to direct the water stream and adjust the spray pattern. The wireless remote controller's sleep mode is disabled, and results in the batteries discharging faster than normal.

Risk: Inability to use the wireless remote controller may hinder the firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Enforcer, Freightliner and Saber vehicles equipped with ECCO Holdings Code 3 7x9 Stop-Tail-Turn Reverse All-in-One LED stop, tail, turn, and reverse lights. The rear LED lights may be too bright. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: The excessive brightness may negatively affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
