Fixes include installing vibration isolators or replacing fuel tubes, free of charge.
- Stokes basket mounting brackets. NHTSA recall 22V809000 covers 299 vehicles. Insufficient welding may cause brackets to fail, allowing the basket to fall and cause injury. The remedy is replacement of mounting brackets at no cost to owners.
- Aerial device control software. NHTSA recall 19V022000 involves 994 vehicles. The aerial device could unexpectedly rotate right during ladder extension, risking contact with objects or electrical wires. Dealers will reprogram the aerial control module free of charge.
- Rear LED lights brightness. NHTSA recall 21V222000 affects 4 vehicles. Rear LED stop, tail, turn, and reverse lights may be excessively bright, potentially impairing other drivers’ vision and increasing crash risk. A filter kit will be installed at no charge.
- Rear sway bar suspension. NHTSA recall 17V349000 impacts 29 vehicles. Rear sway bars may detach, causing increased vehicle sway during steering, raising crash risk. Recall repairs include replacing and torquing sway bar fasteners free of charge.
- Fuel rail assembly sealing washers. NHTSA recall 21V394000 affects 2416 vehicles. Sealing washers may not seat properly, allowing fuel rail leaks that increase fire risk. Dealers will inspect and replace fuel rails as needed at no cost.
- Aerial device retraction bracket. NHTSA recall 18V463000 covers 17 vehicles. Limited retraction brackets on 75-ft aerial devices may detach and fall, risking injury. Additional mounting hardware will be installed without charge.
- Accessory brake lights. NHTSA recall 18V756000 involves 717 vehicles. Some brake lights may illuminate without brake pedal input, potentially confusing other drivers and increasing crash risk. Whelen brake lights will be inspected and replaced as necessary free of charge.
- Hale pump interlock module failure. NHTSA recall 17V455000 covers 65 vehicles. Interlock pressure switches can fail in extreme cold, preventing pump operation during emergencies and increasing injury risk. Replacement modules will be provided free.
Owners confronting repeated repairs, unresolved safety defects, or ongoing recall issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a qualified attorney can clarify options in such situations.
