Recalls- Brake calipers. NHTSA recall 10V317000 affects 45 vehicles. The rear disc brake caliper may interfere with automatic tire chain brackets, restricting caliper movement and reducing braking performance, which could cause a crash. Dealers will install new tire chain brackets free of charge.
- Engine shutdown. Recall 10V195000 covers 827 vehicles with Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines that may shut down unexpectedly due to diesel particulate filter over temperature. This failure risks hindering emergency response. The fix involves reprogramming engine control logic to prevent shutdown while showing a malfunction light.
- Lower ball joint boots. Recall 15V615000 affects 910 vehicles from model years 2006 and 2007. Torn protective boots on lower ball joints may cause contamination and premature failure, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace worn ball joints free of charge.
- Upper ball joint boots. Also under recall 15V615000 for the same 910 vehicles, torn protective boots on upper ball joints pose the same contamination and failure risks. Inspections and replacements will be performed at no cost.
- Aerial control software. Recall 19V022000 involves 994 vehicles from model years 2004 to 2018. The aerial device may unexpectedly rotate right during ladder extension, risking contact with objects or wires. Dealers will reprogram the aerial control module free of charge.
- Axle shafts. Recall 17V348000 covers 225 vehicles equipped with electric all-steer rear axles. Rear steer axle shafts may be improperly heat treated and could break, disabling the vehicle and increasing crash risk. Replacements will be provided free.
- Structural bracket. Recall 18V463000 impacts 17 vehicles with aerial devices mounted by limited retraction brackets that may detach and fall. The falling bracket risks injury to persons below. Dealers will install additional hardware free of charge.
Owners facing repeated mechanical failures, serious safety defects, or unresolved recall issues with their 2007 PIERCE QUANTUM may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting a qualified attorney specializing in consumer protection laws is advised.
