Rosenbauer recall: Steering
What is wrong
Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2021 Commander and Warrior vehicles equipped with Meritor 180 series drive pinions. The rear axle drive pinion may fracture.
What could happen
A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose, and unintentionally engage the parking brake without detection, or without the brake lights activating, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Meritor will inspect and replace the drive pinion, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 27, 2022. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
