2004–2012 Ferrara Igniter & 2004–2012 Ferrara Inferno recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2004-2012 Inferno and Igniter emergency vehicles, equipped with Timoney Independent Front Suspensions. Inconsistent machining may result in fatigue cracks developing over time in the front axle spindles, causing failure of the spindle and the possible separation of a front wheel from the vehicle.
💥 The risk
A wheel separation from the vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle spindle, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
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.)
