Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2015-2016 model year Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Saber, and Velocity emergency vehicles manufactured between August 4, 2015, and August 24, 2016, that are equipped with pumps for firefighting. These vehicles have 6-inch intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during production, which could cause the strainers to come apart during use. If the strainer breaks apart, pieces and debris could enter the pump and cause damage.
If the pump becomes damaged from a failed strainer, the operator may be forced to shut down the pump, which could reduce firefighting effectiveness and increase the risk of injury. Pierce will notify owners to inspect their strainers for missing solder at the joints, and any strainers found to be defective will be replaced at no cost. Affected consumers should contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723 or Hale Products Customer Service Center at 1-800-533-3569. Pierce's recall number is 74B272.
