2007–2010 Pierce Impel & 2007–2010 Pierce Velocity recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
Pierce is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Velocity and Impel fire trucks manufactured from June 6, 2007, through October 30, 2010. The springs inside the inner door handles may allow the door to open inadvertently.
💥 The risk
If the door inadvertently opens while the vehicle is in motion, the occupants may fall out and suffer personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inner door handles, free of charge. The recall began during May 2013. Owners may contact Pierce at 1-920-832-3000.
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.)
