DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Posted on: 2016-07-21
Description
Pierce manufacturing (pierce) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 pumper and tanker trucks built on freightliner chassis manufactured september 27, 2014, to june 14, 2016. The affected vehicles were modified to be equipped with extended bumpers, requiring the vehicles to have additional side markers lights due to the new vehicle length. Since the vehicles do not have the necessary amount of side marker lights, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 108, lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment.
Consequence
If the vehicle is missing side marker lights, it may have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Pierce notified owners, and dealers will install the required side marker lamps, free of charge. The recall began on august 15, 2016. Owners may contact pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74b275.
