2000–2004 Pierce Dash & 2000–2004 Pierce Enforcer + 3 more recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain fire trucks with command cabs fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207,"seating systems." the rescue body offerings do not meet the pull test requirements. The pedestal seat was mounted by drilling and tapping the cab or body floor.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the pedestal seat fasteners could fail to restrain the seat, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the seat pedestals. If the seat was mounted with tapped fasteners, the fasteners will be removed and a hole will be drilled to replace the mounting fasteners with 7/16" bolts and nuts. The recall began on august 19, 2005. Owners may contact pierce at 920-832-3249.
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.)
