Reported May 16, 2013 · FERRARA FIRE APPARATUS, INC

Potentially affected: 52 vehicles

Defect description

Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Igniter and Ultra firetrucks. These vehicles are equipped with Meritor axle assemblies that were built with disc brakes using MGM J24 series air brake chambers. In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.

Safety consequence

Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
