2007 PIERCE LANCE Complaints and Recall Information
The 2007 PIERCE LANCE has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owner feedback mostly involves issues related to mechanical components and safety systems as identified in the recall data.
Seven recalls affect this vehicle covering structural, engine, steering, accelerator, equipment, and suspension systems. These recalls address safety risks such as accidental deployment, engine shutdown, steering detachment, stuck pedals, cab movement hazards, and ball joint failures.
Recalls- Hose tray latch. NHTSA recall 10V300000 affects 25 vehicles with a defect causing the fire hose tray latch under the front bumper to accidentally open while in motion, risking hose deployment on the roadway. The fix involves installing a new latch design and hose box free of charge.
- Engine shutdown. Recall 10V195000 covers 827 vehicles where Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines may shut down unexpectedly upon detecting diesel particulate filter over temperature. The repair reprograms engine control to illuminate a malfunction light instead of shutting down the engine.
- Steering gear bracket. Recall 10V423000 involves 2,652 vehicles with a risk that the steering gear bracket may fracture causing the steering gear to detach, leading to loss of steering control. Dealers will install a new mounting bracket free of charge and owners are instructed to inspect the bracket before trips.
- Accelerator pedal. Recall 11V255000 affects 5,022 vehicles where the electronic accelerator pedal arm may bend after repeated force and cause the pedal to stick in a full throttle position, increasing crash risk. The remedy replaces the pedal arm with a redesigned version at no cost.
- Cab tilt mounts. Recall 13V525000 involves 3,115 vehicles where cab tilt cylinder mounts may fail allowing the cab to drop until a safety catch engages, posing an injury risk. Dealers add safety signs warning operators to stay clear during cab tilting procedures.
- Lower ball joint. Recall 15V615000 affects 910 vehicles with tears in protective boots causing contamination and premature ball joint failure, which may result in wheel disengagement and crash risk. Dealers inspect and replace worn ball joints free of charge.
- Upper ball joint. Recall 15V615000 also covers the upper ball joints on the same 910 vehicles with identical contamination risks and repair procedures as the lower ball joint recall.
Owners dealing with multiple repairs or safety defects from these recalls may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting legal counsel can help clarify options when defects remain unresolved.
