For the 2006 Pierce Saber. 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.

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.

Structure › Body › Bumpers

Summary
Pierce is recalling certain model year 2003 through 2009 custom contender, dash, enforcer, impel, lance saber, and velocity fire trucks manufactured from February 20, 2003, through March 27, 2009. These trucks may be equipped with drop-down fire hose trays mounted under the front bumper. The hose tray latch may accidentally open while the vehicle is in motion.
Consequence
If this occurs the fire hose may drop to the roadway without warning. Potential injury to people and property may occur. The sudden hose deployment may also distract drivers trying to avoid the hose and a crash may occur.
Remedy
A new and improved latch design has been developed and a new hose box incorporating the new latch will be installed free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2010. Owner may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Diesel

Summary
On certain fire trucks equipped with cummins isl CM850 diesel engines, the connecting rods which transfer energy from the piston to the crankshaft are defective and can result in seizure of the piston pin. A piston pin seizure can result in a mission-disabling engine failure.
Consequence
This condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Pierce is working with cummins to replace the connecting rods free of charge. Owners may contact pierce at 1-888-974-3723 or cummins at 1-800-diesels.
