2018–2020 Ferrara Inferno: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 23V819000 · 6 units potentially affected · filed Dec 6, 2023
What's wrong
Ferrara Fire apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Inferno Aerial Fire Apparatus trucks. In the event of a short circuit or wiring failure, the firmware in the vehicle multiplex system may fail to shut off the output pin, resulting in overloaded electrical circuits.
Why it matters
Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
The fix
Ferrara will work with the equipment manufacturer to update the firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 26, 2024. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
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.
