All recalls
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.
Recall number 99V010000 · Recall details
Electrical system: wiring
- What is wrong
- The electrical harness power distribution center was mounted behind the kick panel in the step well area of the truck, and the unsealed connectors, if exposed to water, could result in stray voltage, shorting, or corrosion.
- Risk
- If the unsealed connectors experience a condition that allowed moisture to enter, the engine can experience electronic throttle control problems. The foot operated throttle would not be able to control the electronic-governed engine speed, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new electrical harness with sealed connectors and relocating the power distribution center.
