Recall 05V-072: 1998–2004 Pierce Dash, 2001–2004 Pierce Enforcer and 2 more
PIERCE MANUFACTURING recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Mar 4, 2005, covering about 1,600 vehicles.
The problem
Certain fire trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, 'seating systems.' the seat tether restrains the seat during pull testing as the suspension components are not designed to restrain the seat on their own. The suspension seat tethers are too long.
The risk
The occupant will experience insufficient suspension seat restraint which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace suspension seat tethers with shorter tethers. The recall began on april 11, 2005. Owners may contact pierce at 1-888-974-3723.
