Pierce recall: Air bags
What is wrong
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2019 Arrow XT, Dash, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, and Velocity vehicles. Due to improper manufacturing, the passenger-side knee air bag (KAB) may not properly inflate during a deployment event.
What could happen
In the event of a crash, if the KAB does not inflate properly, it may not provide the intended protection to the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will replace the KAB assembly, free of charge. The recall began October 9, 2019. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
