2013–2021 Rosenbauer Avenger, Rosenbauer Commander, Rosenbauer Warrior: Steering recall
NHTSA campaign 22V025000 · 127 units potentially affected · filed Jan 21, 2022
What's wrong
Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2021 Commander and Warrior vehicles equipped with Meritor 180 series drive pinions. The rear axle drive pinion may fracture.
Why it matters
A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose, and unintentionally engage the parking brake without detection, or without the brake lights activating, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Meritor will inspect and replace the drive pinion, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 27, 2022. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
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.
