Ferrara recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Ferrara Fire apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Inferno Aerial Fire Apparatus trucks. In the event of a short circuit or wiring failure, the firmware in the vehicle multiplex system may fail to shut off the output pin, resulting in overloaded electrical circuits.
What could happen
Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
The fix
Ferrara will work with the equipment manufacturer to update the firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 26, 2024. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
