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
Suspension
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: fire trucks. If the driver accelerates in a turn above 20 MPH forward speed, the lock pin is actuated and causes the axle to resist returning to the straight ahead position after the turn is completed because the lock pin is binding on the clamp plate surface.
- Risk
- Engaging the lock pin in the lcmp plate hole at high forward speeds causes excessive wear in the lock pin and/or the clamp plate hole. Lane changes and other vehicle maneuvers will greatly increase contact frequency and causes wear, increasing the risk of loss of vehicle control.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the tag axles on these fire trucks.
Recall number 98V286000 · Recall details
Suspension: front: springs: coil springs
- What is wrong
- The rear spring hanger on the front suspension can break.
- Risk
- This condition can allow the spring to become detached from the lower frame rail affecting vehicle control and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will add two fasteners per bracket increasing the total number of fasteners from four (4) to six (6).
