Defect
Pierce is recalling 15 my 2007-2008 dash, enforcer, impel, quantum and velocity fire trucks equipped with arvinmeritor rear disc brakes and hendrickson firemaax suspension. Interference with the brake caliper adjuster bolt sleeve and the suspension beam may occur. This interference may occur if the right hand and left hand brake components were assembled on the wrong side of the axle. The adjuster bolt is designed to rotate as the brake pads wear. If the sleeve becomes damaged, the sleeve may prevent the adjuster from rotating.
Safety risk
If the adjuster can not rotate, brake performance may be compromised and a crash may occur.
Remedy
Dealers will adjust the bolt sleeve and the proper components free of charge. All owners have been notified by arvinmeritor.
