CanadaPierce fire trucks — 2015–2026 IMPEL, ENFORCER, ARROW XT and VELOCITY models equipped with a single rear axle — are affected. A software problem can cause the firm-on-ground system light to remain on after the rear stabilizer loses contact with the ground following auto-leveling, which could allow the truck to shift while the aerial device is in use and create a risk of injury. Pierce will notify owners by mail with instructions to update the vehicle software and perform an aerial device functionality check, or to schedule the software update at a Pierce dealership.
