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.

Fuel system, other

Summary
Pierce has decided that certain model year 1995-2008 arrow xt, dash, custom contender, lance, enforcer, pierce arrow, quantum, saber and commercial fire trucks manufactured from January 2, 1995, through January 21, 2008, contain a safety defect. These vehicles are equipped with fuel tank straps that may corrode due to winter road salt or liquid de-icing chemicals. If the fuel tank straps corrode sufficiently, the fuel tank supporting straps may fracture and the fuel tank may fall from the vehicle.
Consequence
The vehicles may lose power and stall. In addition, the fuel tank may rupture and spill diesel fuel on the roadway. Either of these outcomes may cause a fire truck or surrounding vehicles to slip or slide on the roadway surface, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
For fire trucks that are less than 10 years old, dealers will inspect the fuel tank straps and replace them if necessary with stainless steel straps free of charge. For vehicles that are older than 10 years, pierce is not offering a free remedy, but will offer for purchase replacement fuel tanks straps and provide instructions for installation. The safety recall began on August 27, 2011. Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

Vehicle speed control › Accelerator pedal

Summary
Pierce is recalling certain model year 1999-2008 arrow xt, dash, lance, and enforcer fire apparatus manufactured from June 22, 1999, through may 12, 2008, and equipped with an electronic accelerator pedal. After repeated use with excessive force, the accelerator pedal arm may bend and cause the pedal to move closer to the floor. If the pedal arm bends far enough, the pedal may contact the cab floor without warning and stick in the full throttle position.
Consequence
If the accelerator pedal becomes stuck, the operator may lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the existing accelerator arm and install a redesigned pedal arm free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about may 9, 2011. Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

Seats

Summary
Certain fire trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, 'seating systems.' the seat tether restrains the seat during pull testing as the suspension components are not designed to restrain the seat on their own. The suspension seat tethers are too long.
Consequence
The occupant will experience insufficient suspension seat restraint which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace suspension seat tethers with shorter tethers. The recall began on April 11, 2005. Owners may contact pierce at 1-888-974-3723.
