Recalls 3
Suspension: front
- What is wrong
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2004-2012 Inferno and Igniter emergency vehicles, equipped with Timoney Independent Front Suspensions. Inconsistent machining may result in fatigue cracks developing over time in the front axle spindles, causing failure of the spindle and the possible separation of a front wheel from the vehicle.
- Risk
- A wheel separation from the vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle spindle, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1‑800‑443‑9006.
Recall number 18V174000 · Recall details
Electronic stability control (ESC)
- What is wrong
- Ferrara is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 inferno and igniter vehicles equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC), manufactured from april 2009, through october 2011. The ESC module may cause the ESC system to activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions and may adversely affect the slip angle calculation by the ESC module.
- Risk
- This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the front axle outer wheel service brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable by the ESC. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Ferrara will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on october 25, 2011. Owners may contact ferrara at 1‑225‑567‑7100.

- Risk
- Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Ferrara will notify owners and repair the affected vehicle free of charge. The recall began on june 26, 2009. Owners can contact ferrara at 1‑225‑567‑7100.
