DEFECT #1 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM


Posted on: 2013-11-06
Description
Pierce manufacturing inc.  (pierce) is recalling one model year 2009 enforcer emergency vehicle and certain model year 2009-2013 arrow xt, saber, velocity, impel, quantum, and commercial vehicles.  The trailer connector circuit was wired such that the stop signal overrides the turn signal and the trailer lights do not indicate a turn when brakes are applied.  

Consequence
The absence of trailer turn signals may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will install a new electrical harness, free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.  Owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000.  Pierce's recall number is 74b244.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
