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.

Summary
On certain fire trucks built on eagle, metropolitan, and freightliner M2 heavy duty class 8 chassis, the compartment door opening hardware may fail due to forces generated when slamming the door. When this occurs, there is no way to open the compartment door without dismantling the handle assembly or in an emergency situation forcefully opening the door using a pry bar or fireman's axe.
Consequence
The compartment door carries medical equipment and fire fighting equipment. Delayed access to the equipment due to an inoperative compartment door handle could mean the difference between life and death.
Remedy
Dealers will repair the compartment door free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2006. Owners may contact american lafrance at 1-843-746-7542.
