Pierce recall: Power train
What is wrong
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Pierce Arrow XT, Dash CF, Enforcer, Quantum, and Velocity emergency vehicles manufactured from November 3, 2014, through July 31, 2015. The affected vehicles have a driveshaft that may bend or twist possibly causing it disconnect.
What could happen
If the driveshaft disconnects from the vehicle, the vehicle would have a loss of drive, disabling it on the roadway and preventing the vehicle from responding to an emergency. Additionally, portions of the driveshaft could become a road hazard. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Pierce has notified owners, and dealers will install a stronger driveshaft, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2015. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B265.
