8 campaigns cover the Fire Truck.
ON CERTAIN FIRE CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH HARRISON HYDRA-GEN GENERATORS. THE TUBING CONNECTING THE SOFT START TO THE GENERATOR PUMP CAN BREAK AWAY FROM THE FITTING AND SPRAY HYDRAULIC FLUID ONTO THE EXHAUST.
ON CERTAIN FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH EMERGENCY (FIRE-RAY) STROBE WARNING LIGHTS, THE STROBE LIGHT HOUSING WAS MADE FROM AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL AND A PERSON COULD RECEIVE A SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THEY CAME IN CONTACT WITH A VEHICLE OPERATING THE FIRE-RAY STROBE LIGHTS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIRE APPARATUS ON CERTAIN COMMERCIAL CHASSIS WITH OPTIONS FOR FUEL TANK STEP COVERS. CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITHOUT DRAIN HOLES IN THE ALUMINUM STEP LOCATED BELOW THE FUEL FILL OPENING.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: REAR WHEEL DRIVE FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH MIDLAND TWO-WAY CHECK VALVES. THESE VALVES CAN DETERIORATE IN HIGH CYCLE USE, AND DO NOT MEET THE SAE J1410 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PNEUMATIC VALVES DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN COMMERCIAL AIR BRAKE VEHICLES.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH OSHKOSH ALL-STEER ALL-WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM. THE REAR WHEELS OF A FIRE ENGINE CAN TURN UNINTENTIONALLY IF THE ALL-WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM KEY IS ON AND MOISTURE PENETRATES TO THE WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE STEERING SENSOR TO THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU). IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE INSULATION COVERING THE WIRES BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE ECU HAD BEEN NICKED DURING TIME OF ASSEMBLY. OVER TIME, THE NICK IN THE INSULATION ALLOWED MOISTURE TO PENETRATE TO THE ACTUAL WIRE.
THESE FIRE TRUCKS DO NOT AT LEAST TWO SOURCES OF RETURN ENERGY AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS."
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE GRADE HOLDING REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."
THE KEY WHICH SECURES THE POWER STEERING PUMP MATING GEAR TO THE PUMP DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS AND FALLS OUT, ALLOWING THE MATING GEAR TO SPIN ON THE SHAFT OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING.
