STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2016-2022 Ascendant 107' Aerials and 110' Platforms mounted on single rear axle Enforcer chassis. The galvanized stabilizer beams may develop cracks.
- What it can cause
- Cracks can cause instability when an aerial ladder or platform is elevated, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the galvanized stabilizer beams as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 14, 2023. 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.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 .

How this campaign compares
At 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% 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 2016 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Pierce vehicles have been recalled over the structure 5 times before this, most recently in July 2018 as 18V463000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 June 6, 2023 as campaign 23V407000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
