For the 2001 Pierce Fire Truck. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

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.

2001 Pierce Fire Truck recalls, newest first

January 22, 2002NHTSA 02V04800145 vehicles potentially affected

Exterior lighting › Hazard flashing warning lights › Unit

Summary
On certain fire trucks equipped with emergency (fire-ray) strobe warning lights, the strobe light housing was made from an electrically conductive material and a person could receive a severe electrical shock if they came in contact with a vehicle operating the fire-ray strobe lights.
Consequence
This condition could be life-threatening should a small child or a person with a heart condition experience a severe electrical shock. Also, a possible fire hazard exists.
Remedy
Federal signal will notify its customers to return the defective lights for a replacement free of charge. Owner notification was expected to begin during November 2001. 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 federal signal's service department at 800-433-9132 or pierce at 920-832-3000.

April 2, 2001NHTSA 01V113000147 vehicles potentially affected

Suspension › Multiple axle

Summary
Vehicle description: fire trucks equipped with oshkosh all-steer all-wheel steering system. The rear wheels of a fire engine can turn unintentionally if the all-wheel steering system key is on and moisture penetrates to the wire that connects the steering sensor to the electronic control unit (ECU). It was discovered that the insulation covering the wires between the sensor and the ECU had been nicked during time of assembly. Over time, the nick in the insulation allowed moisture to penetrate to the actual wire.
Consequence
Under these conditions, the driver can experience unintended turning of a single or a tandum rear axle, possibly leading to a vehicle crash or injury or death to a pedestrian or fire fighter.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect for nicked wires and replace the wire harness. This recall campaign is 100% complete.
