Reported: 2006-06-09 (June 9, 2006)

ON CERTAIN FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS ISL CM850 DIESEL ENGINES, THE CONNECTING RODS WHICH TRANSFER ENERGY FROM THE PISTON TO THE CRANKSHAFT ARE DEFECTIVE AND CAN RESULT IN SEIZURE OF THE PISTON PIN. A PISTON PIN SEIZURE CAN RESULT IN A MISSION-DISABLING ENGINE FAILURE.

Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER (ENGINE STALL) INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: AMERICAN LAFRANCE DELIVERED ONE VEHICLE TO A CUSTOMER WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED. ALL OTHER VEHICLES ARE STILL AT THE AMERICAN LAFRANCE MANUFACTURING FACILITY.

07V264000 · Structure

Reported: 2007-06-13 (June 13, 2007)

ON CERTAIN FIRE TRUCKS, THE VEHICLE CAB HYDRAULIC LIFT SYSTEM USED TO RAISE AND LOWER THE CAB FOR MAINTENANCE CAN FAIL.

Consequence: IF THE CAB IS LEFT IN A RAISED POSITION, IT MAY NOT MAINTAIN ITS TILTED UPRIGHT POSITION. ALSO IF THE EQUIPMENT SHIFTS INSIDE THE CAB WHILE THE CAB IS IN THE RAISED POSITION, IT COULD CAUSE AN IMPACT LOAD ON THE TILT CYLINDERS CAUSING THE CAB TO COME CRASHING DOWN, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

Remedy: AMERICAN LAFRANCE HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A REMEDY OR OWNER NOTIFICATION FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CALL AMERICAN LAFRANCE AT 1-843-486-7400.
