What was wrong
Defect
Pierce is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Velocity and Impel fire trucks manufactured from June 6, 2007, through October 30, 2010. The springs inside the inner door handles may allow the door to open inadvertently.
Risk
If the door inadvertently opens while the vehicle is in motion, the occupants may fall out and suffer personal injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inner door handles, free of charge. The recall began during May 2013. Owners may contact Pierce at 1-920-832-3000.
