EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
- The defect
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2009-2020 Aerial vehicles equipped with a positional waterway trolley. If the operator attempts to both extend the ladder, and shift from one mode to the other at the same time, the locking tabs can be broken off the locking arms.
- What it can cause
- A damaged positional waterway trolley can become disconnected from the ladder and drop to the ground, increasing the risk of injury or death.
- What the dealer does
- Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will adjust the proximity switches for units equipped with a positional waterway mode shift timer interlock system, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2021. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
- 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 257 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% 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 model years 2009 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 12 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. with NHTSA on March 2, 2021 as campaign 21V130000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
