PIERCE MANUFACTURING recall for latches/locks/linkages, reported to NHTSA on Apr 28, 2009, covering about 257 vehicles.
The problem
Pierce manufacturing is recalling 257 my 2008 emergency vehicles manufactured between june 1 and october 31, 2008, equipped with trimark door latches. These latches fail to comply with the transverse pull static load requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no 206, "door locks and door retention components." the latches may "pop" into the secondary locking position.
The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, the door would not have primary closing security which could possibly lead to injury of the vehicle occupant.
The fix
Pierce will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on may 4, 2009. Owners may contact pierce customer service toll-free at 1-888-974-3723.
