Pierce Manufacturing is recalling approximately 675 aerial firetrucks, including 107’ ladder and 110’ platform models, because a critical safety light may malfunction. The 'firm-on-ground' indicator light, which tells operators the vehicle is stable, may stay lit even if a rear stabilizer loses contact with the ground. Pierce will provide free software updates and functional checks to ensure the stabilizer systems operate correctly.
If the indicator light falsely shows the truck is stable, operators may extend the aerial ladder or platform when the vehicle is at risk of shifting. This instability can cause the truck to move unexpectedly during emergency operations, increasing the risk of serious injury to firefighters and bystanders.
Vehicle software update and aerial device functional check.
