On certain fire trucks exposed to winter road salt and road de-icing chemicals, the fuel tank straps may corrode and fail. This could allow the fuel tank to contact the ground, which may compromise the tanks integrity and permit fuel leakage. Diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. If the fuel tank separates from the vehicle, it would cause the engine to stall, resulting in a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Also, a fuel tank assembly separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank straps. If the straps are significantly corroded they will be replaced free of charge on vehicles less than ten (10) years of age. For vehicles older than ten (10) years, the vehicle owner may purchase replacement straps through Pierce Customer Service.
On certain fire trucks, after repeated use with excessive force, the accelerator pedal arm may bend and cause the foot pedal to move closer to the floor. If the pedal arm bends far enough, the foot pedal may contact the cab floor without warning and stick in the full throttle position. An accelerator pedal stuck at full throttle may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop or slow the vehicle, which could result in a loss of control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal arm with a redesigned version.
On certain vehicles equipped with a non-independent front suspension, the steering gear bracket may fracture and break. If this occurs the steering gear may detach from the vehicle, without warning, and cause a crash. Correction: A new steering gear mounting bracket will be installed.

On certain fire trucks, the suspension seat restraining tethers are too long to ensure compliance with CMVSS 207. The seat tether restrains the seat during pull testing as the suspension components are not designed to restrain the seat on their own. The longer seat tethers may not adequately restrain the seat during a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the seat tethers with shorter ones.
