The sfd has six fire apparatus with this chassis from the 93 and 94 model years. Two have had electrical failures in the wiring harness between the left battery bank and the starter. I personally was driving one of them when total electrical failure shut off all power including lights (engine 20). Engine 10 caught fire in the fire station apparatus bay and was discovered before serious structural damage to the fire station occurred. The specifics as to mileage and date are approximate. I am reporting this on my own not as an official department representative. The address and phone number provided are my home.

Seat belts: front: anchorage
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: fire trucks. These fire trucks are all 4-door models which contain dual, forward facing passenger seats. The hardware utilized to mount the seat box to the cab floor and to the backwall structure, and also to mount the type 1 seat belt systems, was inadequate to meet the requirements of fmvss nos. 207/210, ""seating systems" and "seat belt assembly anchorages."
- Risk
- The seat box mounting/restraining hardware can loosen or fail allowing the seat/seat box assembly to break free of its mounting to the cab floor and/or backwall which could cause injury to the occupants of those seats.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the seat box mounting fasteners.
Recall number 99V118000 · Recall details
Structure
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: fire trucks. The cab tilt system contains a 12 volt electrical solenoid assembly as an accessory to the cab tilt electric motor/hydraulic pump assembly. Rain, snow, salt spray or other corrosive environment can corrode the solenoid or "bridge" the energizing coil wire terminal causing the cab tilt system to operate uncontrollably.
- Risk
- This could cause the cab tilt system to actuate without control, increasing the risk of personal injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a hermetically sealed solenoid assembly.
