03- Label#2021454
170 units affected
Issue: On certain fire trucks, the compliance label may not list the correct tire inflation pressures. This could lead you to underinflate the tires. Driving a vehicle with underinflated tires could cause poor handling and/or a tire failure. Safety Risk: Tires that are not properly inflated could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Rosenbauer will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to verify that the compliance label has the correct tire inflation pressures. They will replace it with a corrected label, if required.
- Suspension#2017412
6 units affected
On certain fire trucks, the ball joints of the Independent Front Suspension (IFS) module may not have been assembled properly during the manufacturing process causing them to loosen over time. Loose ball joints could separate from their mating component which could result in a partial loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the central steering system ball joints and tighten if necessary.
- Seats And Restraints#2016267
4 units affected
Certain fire trucks may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 207 – Anchorage of Seats. The Battalion air ride seats may be missing tethers that attach the seat to the cab. If this condition were present, the seat could fail to meet the requirements of the standard, which could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install two seat belt tethers for each driver and/or passenger seat.
