2002–2005 Pierce Arrow XT & 2002–2005 Pierce Dash + 2 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain fire trucks, interference may occur between the aerial front axle interlock sensor bracket and the front air brake hose. This condition occurs during full turn steering and full suspension jounce compression.
💥 The risk
This interference may cause chafing leading to a potential front air brake hose failure. In the event of a front brake hose failure, loss of front braking will occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove the existing front axle interlock sensor bracket and install a new bracket in a new location avoiding the front axle brake hose. The recall began on october 13, 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.)
