What this recall means for you
Certain emergency fire vehicles may have a transmission control module that fails to reach the fourth-gear lockup needed to start the water pump after the vehicle has been reversed. If the pump cannot be engaged, the truck cannot deliver water during a fire, which increases the risk of injury.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact Marion Body Works customer service at 1-715-754-5261 or have their vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer. Dealers will update the transmission control module software at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed May 30, 2023.
