Recall 11V-255: 2003–2008 Pierce Arrow XT, 1998–2008 Pierce Dash and 2 more
PIERCE MANUFACTURING recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Apr 26, 2011, covering about 5,022 vehicles.
The problem
Pierce is recalling certain model year 1999-2008 arrow xt, dash, lance, and enforcer fire apparatus manufactured from june 22, 1999, through may 12, 2008, and equipped with an electronic accelerator pedal. After repeated use with excessive force, the accelerator pedal arm may bend and cause the pedal to move closer to the floor. If the pedal arm bends far enough, the pedal may contact the cab floor without warning and stick in the full throttle position.
The risk
If the accelerator pedal becomes stuck, the operator may lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will remove the existing accelerator arm and install a redesigned pedal arm free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about may 9, 2011. Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.
