What happened

Pierce Manufacturing is recalling certain 2015-2016 fire trucks including Arrow, Dash, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Saber, and Velocity models manufactured between June 29, 2015, and June 30, 2016. These vehicles may have defective C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous that could prevent operators from switching power between the wheels and add-on equipment like water pumps. A damaged component in the shift unit could make it impossible to redirect power output to the water pump, preventing firefighters from pumping water to fight fires.

Affected owners should contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723 to arrange a remedy. Pierce will notify owners, and authorized dealers will remove and replace the shift unit assembly's clevis pin and retaining rings at no charge. The recall began on September 2, 2016, and Pierce's recall number is 74B277.
