Has your American Lafrance been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A American Lafrance dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

June 9, 2004NHTSA 04V2700001,339 vehicles potentially affected

Structure

Summary
On certain fire trucks, one or both of the cab tilt cylinders may lock when the cab is being lowered. This can happen if a velocity fuse trips in either of the cylinders.
Consequence
If only one velocity fuse trips and not the other, the resulting unequal loading may cause one or both of the cylinders to bend allowing the cab to lower to the chassis.
Remedy
Dealers will install flow restrictors in the cab tilt blinders to reduce the speed at which the cab lowers. The recall began on October 11, 2004. Owners should contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

Vehicle speed control › Accelerator pedal

Summary
Vehicle description: medium duty trucks, fire trucks, and transit buses and school buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries. The weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
Consequence
If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace these pedals. Owner notification began March 18, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
