2008 Ferrara Fire Truck recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Ferrara is recalling 3 Fire trucks equipped with caterpillar engines. Inadequate stiffness of the diesel particulate filter (dpf) bracket could result in separation of the dpf from the chassis.
💥 The risk
A vehicle crash could occur if another vehicle strikes the dpf on the roadway.
🔧 The fix
Ferrara is working with caterpillar to have the dpf brackets replaced (please see 08E041). Owners have been notified and arrangements have been made to have these vehicles repaired.
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.)
