What happened

Ferrara Fire Apparatus is recalling certain 2011-2012 Igniter and Ultra firetrucks equipped with Meritor axle assemblies containing MGM J24 series air brake chambers. The brake chambers in these vehicles may leak pressure, which can cause the parking brake to drag when released, potentially leading to overheated brake components and fire.

Ferrara has already notified all affected owners and replaced all defective brake chambers. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact Ferrara Fire Apparatus at 1-800-443-9006 to confirm that their replacement has been completed.
