What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2012-2017 Arrow XT, Dash, Enforcer, Quantum, and Velocity fire trucks equipped with the T3 rear steer option. The affected vehicles have a rear sway bar that may detach from the vehicle.

The risk

If the sway bar detaches, the vehicle may sway more during steering maneuvers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will replace and properly torque the sway bar fasteners, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2017. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.

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.
