Defect
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling 2020 Arrow XT, Impel, and Enforcer vehicles equipped with battery-powered 3600 wireless remote controller units used to control the movement of electric firefighting monitors in firefighting vehicles. The monitor is used to direct the water stream and adjust the spray pattern. The wireless remote controller's sleep mode is disabled, and results in the batteries discharging faster than normal.
Safety risk
Inability to use the wireless remote controller may hinder the firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will return the affected controllers to Akron Brass for a software update, free of charge. The recall began on February 22, 2021. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
