What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Velocity, Impel, Enforcer, Arrow XT, Quantum, and Dash CF trucks. The steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gears to fracture.

The risk

A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 4, 2022. Owners may contact Pierce's customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B321.

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.nhtsa.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.
