Summary

Consequence

An unexpected surge in water pressure to the fire hose can increase the risk of injury to the hose operator or those nearby.

Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will update the water pressure governor firmware, free of charge. The recall began on January 5, 2016. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B252.
