Pierce Manufacturing affected vehicles may have a plastic plug installed in an unused port in the hydraulic pump for the aerial device.
The short version
Pierce Manufacturing reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may have a plastic plug installed in an unused port in the hydraulic pump for the aerial device. This plastic plug may separate from the pump resulting in a hydraulic fluid leak, potentially disabling the aerial device.
The inoperable aerial device can increase the risk of injury if the operator needs to move away from a hazardous situation or it may impede the safety mission.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the vehicles and replace the plastic plug with a metal plug, as necessary, free of charge.
