PIERCE MANUFACTURING IS RECALLING 257 MY 2008 EMERGENCY VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JUNE 1 AND OCTOBER 31, 2008, EQUIPPED WITH TRIMARK DOOR LATCHES. THESE LATCHES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE TRANSVERSE PULL STATIC LOAD REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO 206, “DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS.” THE LATCHES MAY “POP” INTO THE SECONDARY LOCKING POSITION.
What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
