Transport Canada recalls
01- Structure#2026173
57 units affected
Issue: Under certain conditions after the fire truck has been auto-leveled, a software problem could cause the firm-on-ground system light to remain on after the rear stabilizer loses contact with the ground. As a result, the fire truck could shift when the aerial device is being used. Note: This recall only affects certain fire trucks equipped with a single rear axle. Safety Risk: A fire truck that shifts while the aerial device is being used could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Pierce will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to update the vehicle software and perform an aerial device functionality check. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the software update performed at a Pierce dealership.

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2015-2026 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity 107’ ladder and 110’ platform aerial firetrucks equipped with a single rear axle. The firm-on-ground system light may remain illuminated after the rear stabilizer loses contact with the ground.

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2020 Enforcer, 2021-2022 Velocity, and 2023 Saber vehicles equipped with a specific rear bumper option. The bumper may partially obstruct the rear lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: Partially obstructed rear lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Arrow XT, Enforcer, and Velocity mid-mount tower trucks equipped with an aerial platform basket. The electrical connector to the aerial turntable wiring harness may not be properly secured, which can result in connector corrosion and affect the leveling ability of the platform basket.
Risk: An inability for the platform basket to maintain level can result in the basket tipping, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Pierce will replace the aerial turntable wiring harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 14, 2023. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B330.

When the aerial platform is extended to its maximum angle, the platform mounting bracket may interfere with the basket handrail hinge peg and cause the handrail to detach from the basket.
Risk: A basket handrail that unexpectedly detaches from the basket may increase the risk of injury to first responders using the handrail or to individuals on the ground near the vehicle.
Remedy: Dealers will install new basket handrail hinge pegs, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 16, 2023. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B326.
