2021 Pierce Velocity recalls
Firetruck Ladder Light May Falsely Show Ground Contact
Certain Pierce aerial firetrucks from 2015 and 2016 (Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, and Velocity models with 107-foot ladder or 110-foot platform and a single rear axle) may keep the firm-on-ground indicator light lit after the rear stabilizer has lost contact with the ground.
Rear Lights May Be Blocked by Bumper, Raising Crash Risk
Certain rear bumpers on these vehicles may partially obstruct the rear lights, so the lights may not be fully visible to other drivers.
Platform Basket May Not Stay Level, Risking Tip-Over
Some aerial platform trucks have an electrical connector to the turntable wiring harness that may not be properly secured.
Aerial Platform Handrail Can Detach From Basket
Certain aerial trucks have an aerial platform that, when extended to its maximum angle, can have its mounting bracket interfere with the basket handrail hinge peg.
Stokes Basket Brackets May Fail, Causing Basket to Fall
Some Pierce fire trucks may have Stokes basket mounting brackets that were not welded sufficiently.
Steering Gear May Fracture, Causing Loss of Steering
Steering gears on certain 2021-2022 vehicles may have been assembled incorrectly.
Fuel tubes can crack and leak, creating a fire risk
The fuel tubes that carry diesel from the fuel rail to the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six can fatigue and crack over time.
Fuel leak can cause fire in diesel fuel rail
Certain 2017-2021 Pierce Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Saber, and Velocity vehicles may have a sealing washer that does not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes of the high pressure fuel rail assembly.
