Defect
On four-wheel-drive double-cab fire trucks, the chassis frame has insufficient strength, causing cracks to develop. Continued use in this condition allows the cracks to propagate, leading to frame fracture. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add reinforcement components to the chassis frame. Where cracks have already formed, repair the cracks before installing the reinforcement.
