Transport Canada recalls
02- Other#2016071
6 units affected
On certain fire trucks, the governor/throttle control of the fire pump may have been configured with an incorrect firmware during the manufacturing process. Under certain circumstances, this could cause an unexpected pressure surge to the fire hose, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: The manufacturer will provide a firmware update to correct the defect.
- Other#2013167
61 units affected
Certain fire trucks fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. Specifically, the outer door handle spring is not sufficiently stiff, which may allow the door to open during a vehicle crash. As a result, an unbelted occupant could fall from the vehicle and sustain personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the outer door handle actuator spring with an updated version.

U.S. NHTSA recalls
03- EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL#22V809000
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2010-2022 Pierce Velocity, Enforcer, Arrow XT, Quantum, and Dash CF fire trucks. Stokes basket mounting brackets may be insufficiently welded.
Risk: The left and/or right brackets can fail, allowing the stokes basket to fall and increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Pierce will replace the stokes basket mounting brackets, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 14, 2022. Owners may contact Pierce's customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B323.
- SEAT BELTS#14V243000
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain model year 2013 Arrow XT, Dash CF, Impel, and Velocity vehicles manufactured October 2013 through January 2014, and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Risk: If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
Remedy: Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2014. Owners may contact Pierce at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this campaign is 74B246.
- STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR#13V214000
Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 Velocity, Impel, and Dash CF emergency vehicles manufactured June 6, 2007, through May 31, 2013. The springs in the outer door handles are not of sufficient stiffness to prevent inadvertent door opening in certain impacts. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
Risk: In the event of a crash, the weak springs may allow the door to open and possibly fail to contain emergency personnel or equipment, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will replace the door handle spring with a stiffer one, free of charge. Owners may contact Pierce at 1-920-832-3000. The recall began on June 28, 2013. Pierce's recall number is 74B242.
