Summary

Pierce Manufacturing "Pierce" is recalling certain 2016-2017 Arrow XT, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, and Velocity fire trucks equipped with Hale Pump Interlock Module Kits. The Hale interlock pressure switch can fail after prolonged exposure to extreme cold temperatures, preventing the fire truck water pump from operating.

Consequence

If the fire truck cannot pump water during a fire emergency, there would be an increased risk of injury.

Remedy

Pierce will notify owners, and Hale Products dealers will replace the interlock modules, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2017. Owners may contact Hale customer service at 1-800-533-3569 or Pierce customer service at 1-414-832-3000. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B281.
