EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling 2020 Arrow XT, Impel, and Enforcer vehicles equipped with battery-powered 3600 wireless remote controller units used to control the movement of electric firefighting monitors in firefighting vehicles. The monitor is used to direct the water stream and adjust the spray pattern. The wireless remote controller's sleep mode is disabled, and results in the batteries discharging faster than normal.
- What it can cause
- Inability to use the wireless remote controller may hinder the firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Pierce will notify owners, and dealers will return the affected controllers to Akron Brass for a software update, free of charge. The recall began on February 22, 2021. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Pierce vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 9 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V571000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V217000 (equipment), 24V127000 (structure), 23V823000 (electrical system), 23V096000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Pierce Manufacturing with NHTSA on January 13, 2021 as campaign 21V006000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
