The short version

Pierce Manufacturing reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The clamps on the heater hose may have been improperly installed allowing engine coolant to leak into the passenger compartment.

WHY IT MATTERS

If coolant leaks into the passenger compartment, it may contact electrical components causing a shorting of circuits and a loss of function of features controlled by those circuits, including loss of power to vehicle which may result in a stall and increase the risk of a crash. The hot coolant may also contact occupants and possibly cause burn injuries.

WHAT TO DO

Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the hose clamp installation, free of charge.
