DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:QUICK RELEASE VALVE
Posted on: 2009-06-09
Description
Ferrara is recalling 89 model year 2008-2009 inferno and igniter fire trucks equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
Consequence
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Ferrara will notify owners and repair the affected vehicle free of charge. The recall began on june 26, 2009. Owners can contact ferrara at 1-225-567-7100.

DEFECT #2 - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Posted on: 2011-10-20
Description
Ferrara is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 inferno and igniter vehicles equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc), manufactured from april 2009, through october 2011. The esc module may cause the esc system to activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions and may adversely affect the slip angle calculation by the esc module.
Consequence
This might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the front axle outer wheel service brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable by the esc. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Ferrara will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on october 25, 2011. Owners may contact ferrara at 1-225-567-7100.
