What happened

Ferrara Fire Apparatus is recalling certain 2009–2011 model year Inferno and Igniter vehicles equipped with Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) that were manufactured between April 2009 and October 2011. The ESC module may activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions, which could cause the system to apply the front axle outer wheel service brake and increase the risk of a crash.

Ferrara will notify owners and replace the control module at no charge. The recall began on October 25, 2011. Affected owners should contact Ferrara at 1-225-567-7100.

FERRARA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 25, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FERRARA AT 1-225-567-7100.
