2010 Pierce Lance recalls
Recall 13V-525: Equipment
Problem: Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (Pierce) is recalling certain model year 2000-2009 Enforcer and model year 2000-2010 Dash, Lance, and Arrow XT vehicles. While raising or lowering the cab as part of vehicle maintenance, the mounts on which the cab tilt cylinders pivot may fatigue and fail allowing the cab to fall until the safety catch activates.
Risk: If a person is in the path of the moving cab when a mount fails, the person may be hit by the falling cab, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will affix new safety signs advising the operator to stay clear of the cab while it is being tilted, free of charge. The recall began on January 6, 2014. Owners may contact Pierce at 1-920-832-3000. Pierce's recall number is 74B240.

Risk: Unexpected emergency vehicle engine shutdown under certain conditions could hamper rescue operations and place the public at risk.
Fix: Owners will be notified by detroit diesel and detroit diesel will repair the vehicles free of charge by reprogramming the engine control logic to illuminate a malfunction indicator light without requesting engine shutdown.
