Ferrara recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Igniter and Inferno firetrucks manufactured October 16, 2013, to December 10, 2014. The affected vehicles are built with independent front suspensions that may have loose ball joints.
What could happen
A loose ball joint may separate from the steering linkage resulting in a loss of steering control and an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the firetrucks and replace the affected suspension components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in October 2015. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-225-567-7100 ext 3011.
