Recall 2005309

The issue

On certain fire trucks equipped with the ALLSTEER option, incorrect programming in the Vehicle Interface Module (VIM) may shut down the ALLSTEER function in mid-turn, preventing the rear steering axle wheel from returning to center. If this condition occurs, the driver may lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the VIM.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions de pompiers équipés de l'option ALLSTEER, une programmation incorrecte dans le module VIM (vehicle interface module) pourrait mettre la fonction ALLSTEER hors service en milieu de virage, ce qui empêcherait le volant de l'essieu directeur arrière de retourner en position centrale. Si cela se produisait, le conducteur pourrait perdre le contrôle de la direction, ce qui pourrait causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront reprogrammer le module VIM.
