What happened

Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2006 through 2010 fire trucks (Arrow XT, Dash, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, and Velocity models) manufactured between October 11, 2006 and June 16, 2010 that have Meritor Wabco EX225 rear disc brakes and OnSpot automatic tire chains. The brake caliper may interfere with the tire chain brackets, which can restrict the caliper's movement and reduce braking performance without warning, potentially causing a crash.

Dealers will install new automatic tire chain brackets that provide additional clearance for proper brake caliper operation at no cost. The recall began in July 2010. Affected owners should contact Pierce Manufacturing at 1-920-832-3000.
