Pierce recall: Vehicle speed control
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
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.
