United States 08V683000
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc.
The problem
FERRARA IS RECALLING 3 FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CATERPILLAR ENGINES. INADEQUATE STIFFNESS OF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) BRACKET COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE DPF FROM THE CHASSIS.
Risk
A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR IF ANOTHER VEHICLE STRIKES THE DPF ON THE ROADWAY.
What owners should do
FERRARA IS WORKING WITH CATERPILLAR TO HAVE THE DPF BRACKETS REPLACED (PLEASE SEE 08E041). OWNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO HAVE THESE VEHICLES REPAIRED.
