2008 Ferrara Igniter recalls
Recall 18V-174: Suspension
Problem: Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2004-2012 Inferno and Igniter emergency vehicles, equipped with Timoney Independent Front Suspensions. Inconsistent machining may result in fatigue cracks developing over time in the front axle spindles, causing failure of the spindle and the possible separation of a front wheel from the vehicle.
Risk: A wheel separation from the vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle spindle, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
Recall 09V-210: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Ferrara is recalling 89 model year 2008-2009 inferno and igniter fire trucks equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (Qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
Risk: Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Ferrara will notify owners and repair the affected vehicle free of charge. The recall began on june 26, 2009. Owners can contact ferrara at 1-225-567-7100.
