- Affected:

- Defect:
- Pierce manufacturing inc. (pierce) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 velocity, impel, and dash cf emergency vehicles manufactured june 6, 2007, through may 31, 2013. the springs in the outer door handles are not of sufficient stiffness to prevent inadvertent door opening in certain impacts. thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, "door locks and door retention components."
- Consequence:
- In the event of a crash, the weak springs may allow the door to open and possibly fail to contain emergency personnel or equipment, increasing the risk of injury.
- Correction:
- Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will replace the door handle spring with a stiffer one, free of charge. owners may contact pierce at 1-920-832-3000. the recall began on june 28, 2013. pierce's recall number is 74b242.

- Seat belts
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/2013 - 01/30/2014
- Affected:

- Defect:
- Pierce manufacturing (pierce) is recalling certain model year 2013 arrow xt, dash cf, impel, and velocity vehicles manufactured october 2013 through january 2014, and equipped with immi-brand l9 seat belt buckles. when the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
- Consequence:
- If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
- Correction:
- Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. the recall began on june 26, 2014. owners may contact pierce at 1-888-974-3723. pierce's number for this campaign is 74b246.
