Has your Pierce 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 Pierce dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1989 Pierce Dash recalls, newest first

June 20, 2008NHTSA 08V2740002,372 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Column

Summary
Pierce is recalling 2,372 my 1982-1991 arrow, my 1983-1989 dash, and my 1987-1989 dash D8000 emergency vehicles equipped with TRW steering columns. The lower end of the TRW steering column is attached to a 90 degree gear box as it passes through the floor of the cab. If the shaft is not well aligned with the gear box input, a side load is induced in the lower shaft bearing. This side load can cause bearing failure. If the lower steering column bearing fails, the bearing race or compression spring cuts into the hollow steering shaft tube.
Consequence
This failure most likely will occur on high mileage vehicles during low speed, high steering effort events, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the original TRW steering column with a new TRW steering column retrofit kit. The safety recall began on October 15, 2008. Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

Steering › Gear box (other than rack and pinion)

Summary
The steering gear bracket used to mount the power steering gear to the chassis frame can crack and fail.
Consequence
This can cause the steering gear to bind, resulting in a loss of steering control and a possible accident.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect vehicles and replace the brackets with newly designed brackets. Until replacement brackets are available, owners are advised to inspect the brackets for cracks, and contact pierce manufacturing for repair information.

April 2, 1990NHTSA 90V063000372 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Gear box › Shaft sector

Summary
The universal joints at each end of the steering shaft are attached to the shaft with a key and set screw. The set screws may loosen and allow the key to fall out of place.
Consequence
If the key falls out, the universal joint would spin on the shaft, resulting in loss of steering and a possible crash.
Remedy
Modify steering linkage to prevent set screw from loosening and key from coming out of key way.
