The problem
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Arrow XT, Quantum, Velocity, Impel, and Saber fire-fighting vehicles manufactured June 19, 2013, to July 31, 2014. The affected vehicles have fire hose water pressure regulators that may not respond consistently to operator input and, as a result, there may be an unexpected water pressure surge to the fire hose.
The risk
An unexpected surge in water pressure to the fire hose can increase the risk of injury to the hose operator or those nearby.
The fix
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will update the water pressure governor firmware, free of charge. The recall began on January 5, 2016. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B252.
