Defect description

Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity Emergency fire emergency vehicles built with a 107 foot or 110 foot aerial device. A rectangular tube in the upper mid-section of the aerial device may develop cracks and corrosion, possibly causing one of the tube walls to fail and the aerial device to become unsteady.

Safety risk

The failed tube may cause the aerial device to fall, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for the presence of cracks and/or evidence of corrosion. If no cracks or corrosion is found, the tube will receive a treatment to prevent rust corrosion. If cracks or corrosion is present, the upper mid section of the device will be replaced. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 25, 2020. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
