What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: fire trucks. The cab tilt system contains a 12 volt electrical solenoid assembly as an accessory to the cab tilt electric motor/hydraulic pump assembly. Rain, snow, salt spray or other corrosive environment can corrode the solenoid or "bridge" the energizing coil wire terminal causing the cab tilt system to operate uncontrollably.

Possible consequence

This could cause the cab tilt system to actuate without control, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Remedy

Dealers will install a hermetically sealed solenoid assembly.
