Defect
On ladder fire trucks, the steering idler arm has insufficient strength. Repeated full-lock steering maneuvers can cause the arm to crack. Continued operation allows the crack to progress until, in the worst case, the arm fractures and the vehicle loses steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the idler arm assembly with the corrected part.
