2008–2009 Ferrara Igniter & 2008–2009 Ferrara Inferno recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Ferrara is recalling 89 model year 2008-2009 Inferno and Igniter fire trucks equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
💥 The risk
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Ferrara will notify owners and repair the affected vehicle free of charge. The recall began on june 26, 2009. Owners CAN contact ferrara at 1-225-567-7100.
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.)
