2000–2001 Pierce Fire Truck recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

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.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect for nicked wires and replace the wire harness. This recall campaign is 100% complete.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
