2000–2004 Pierce Dash & 2000–2004 Pierce Lance + 2 more recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
The occupant will experience insufficient suspension seat restraint which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a crash.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
