Defect:
Pierce manufacturing (pierce) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 arrow xt, enforcer, impel, quantum, saber, and velocity emergency vehicles manufactured august 4, 2015, to august 24, 2016, equipped with pumps to provide pressurized water to aid in fighting fires. these pumps have 6" intake strainers that may have been improperly soldered during production and, as a result, the strainers may come apart during use, allowing parts of the strainer and debris to enter the pump, possibly damaging the pump.
Consequence:
If the strainer and/or debris enters the pump, and the operator is forced to shut down the pump, reducing firefighting effectiveness, there could be an increased risk of injury.
Correction:
