ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara Fire) is recalling certain 2022 Ultra and Inferno fire trucks, equipped with a Warn Winch and a wireless handheld remote. Water may enter the handheld remote control for the winch and cause circuit board corrosion, which can allow the winch to operate unintentionally.
- What it can cause
- A winch that operates unintentionally increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Ferrara Fire will work with Warn Industries, Inc. to provide owners instructions on how to inspect the remote for corrosion and disable the wireless function by removing the battery pack from the remote. If corrosion or water intrusion is found when removing the battery pack, owners should stop using the remote and contact WARN customer service for a replacement remote, free of charge. All affected vehicles were repaired by June 25, 2023. 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

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, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ferrara vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V640000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 22V570000 (steering), 22V409000 (equipment), 22V020000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V910000 (power train).
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 May 4, 2023 as campaign 23V317000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
