Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain commercial fire trucks from model years 1995-2008, including Arrow XT, Dash, Custom Contender, Lance, Enforcer, Pierce Arrow, Quantum, and Saber models manufactured between January 2, 1995, and January 21, 2008. These vehicles have fuel tank straps that can corrode when exposed to winter road salt or liquid de-icing chemicals. If the straps corrode enough, they may fracture, causing the fuel tank to fall from the vehicle. This defect could cause the vehicles to lose power and stall, and may result in diesel fuel spilling onto the roadway, which could cause fire trucks or other vehicles to slip or slide and crash.
For fire trucks less than 10 years old, dealers will inspect the fuel tank straps and replace them with stainless steel straps at no charge. For vehicles older than 10 years, Pierce will not provide a free remedy but will offer replacement fuel tank straps for purchase along with installation instructions. Owners should contact Pierce Manufacturing at 1-920-832-3000 for service.
