All recalls
Equipment: mechanical: winch
- What is wrong
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara Fire) is recalling certain 2022 Ultra and Inferno fire trucks, equipped with a Warn Winch and a wireless handheld remote.

- Risk
- A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Ferrara Fire will work with Warn Industries, Inc. to provide owners instructions on how to inspect the remote for corrosion and disable the wireless function by removing the battery pack from the remote.

Exterior lighting: brake lights
- What is wrong
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ferrara Inferno, Igniter, Cinder, Ultra, and Intruder emergency vehicles equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Equipment
- What is wrong
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Inferno, Igniter, Cinder, Ultra, and Intruder vehicles built on Freightliner and International chassis manufactured August 3, 2015, to April 29, 2016, equipped with pumps to provide pressurized water to aid in fighting fires. These pumps have 6" intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during production and, as a result, the strainers may come apart during use, allowing parts of the strainer and debris to enter the pump, possibly damaging the pump.
- Risk
- If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Ferrara will notify owners, and owners will check the strainer for missing solder at the joints. Any strainers missing solder will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 20, 2016. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1‑800‑443‑9006 or hale customer service at 1‑800‑533‑3569.
Recall number 16V445000 · Recall details
Parking brake: conventional: air
- What is wrong
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Igniter and Ultra firetrucks. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor axle assemblies that were built with disc brakes using MGM J24 series air brake chambers. In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.
- Risk
- Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Ferrara has notified all affected owners and has replaced all of the affected brake chambers. Owners may contact Ferrara at 1‑800‑443‑9006.
