What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2000-2016 Fire Apparatus 100' Rear Mount Platform emergency vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with a movable ladder access guardrail that may bend or break under heavy loads.

The risk

A guardrail that bends or breaks under load can increase the risk of injury.

The remedy

Ferrara will notify owners, and service personnel or service centers will install a brace for the mansaver guardrail bar to support the required loads, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2017. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
