Does the 2019 Ferrara Cinder have recalls?

2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.

22V020000Fuel SystemJanuary 20, 2022 · 29 units

Defect

Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Inferno, Igniter, and Cinder emergency vehicles. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.

Consequence

A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy

On engines with 75 miles or less, dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes. Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 31, 2022. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.

18V613000LightingSeptember 11, 2018 · 108 units

Defect

Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ferrara Inferno, Igniter, Cinder, Ultra, and Intruder emergency vehicles equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence

If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began November 1, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
