Complaints by model year
Newer model years have had less time on the road, so they naturally have fewer complaints. Compare a year against its neighbors rather than against brand-new models.

Pierce Dash recalls
Risk: Unintended movement of the aerial device can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: In the event of a crash, if the KAB does not inflate properly, it may not provide the intended protection to the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the aerial device moves in an unexpected direction, the ladder may contact an object, such as a building or an electrical wire, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the sway bar detaches, the vehicle may sway more during steering maneuvers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Axle shafts that are not properly heat treated may break and potentially disable the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The contamination may cause premature ball joint failure and the wheel to disengage from the control arm, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Risk: If a person is in the path of the moving cab when a mount fails, the person may be hit by the falling cab, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the door opens, the scba cylinders may fall out of the compartment and onto the roadway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to pedestrians.
Risk: The vehicles may lose power and stall. In addition, the fuel tank may rupture and spill diesel fuel on the roadway. Either of these outcomes may cause a fire truck or surrounding vehicles to slip or slide on the roadway surface, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the accelerator pedal becomes stuck, the operator may lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Detachment of the steering gear will result in a loss of steering control that could cause a crash.
Risk: If this interference occurs, braking performance may be reduced without warning and a crash may occur.
Risk: If this occurs the fire hose may drop to the roadway without warning. Potential injury to people and property may occur. The sudden hose deployment may also distract drivers trying to avoid the hose and a crash may occur.
Risk: Unexpected emergency vehicle engine shutdown under certain conditions could hamper rescue operations and place the public at risk.
