What NHTSA recorded

Pierce is recalling 466 model year 2003 through 2009 fire apparatus bodies manufactured between december 10, 2003 and march 9, 2009, and may have been equipped with dual scba cylinder storage compartments. These compartments extend inboard horizontally from the side of the rear body. The scba compartment door latch may have been manufactured incorrectly, allowing the door to pop open without warning while the vehicle is in motion.

Possible consequence

If the door opens, the scba cylinders may fall out of the compartment and onto the roadway, possibly becoming road hazard to other motorists which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Pierce will notify owners and will repair the vehicle free of charge. The safety recall began on july 17, 2009. Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.
