Published June 3, 2026

Recall 10V317 affects 45 2006-2010 Pierce fire trucks for rear brake caliper interference. Repair is free at any franchised Pierce dealer.

Pierce is recalling 45 2006-2010 Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Velocity, Arrow Xt, and Dash fire trucks because the rear disc brake caliper can interfere with the Onspot automatic tire chain brackets. The interference can restrict caliper movement, reduce braking performance without warning, and increase crash risk; Pierce dealers will complete the free repair once Pierce makes it available.

What's wrong?

The rear disc brake caliper on these 2006-2010 Pierce Arrow Xt, Dash, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, and Velocity fire trucks is the clamp that presses the brake pads against the rear brake rotor. When the driver presses the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure moves the caliper so the pads squeeze the rotor and slow the truck. The caliper needs room to move through its full travel.

On affected trucks, the Meritor WABCO EX225 rear disc brake caliper sits too close to the OnSpot automatic tire chain bracket. The OnSpot system swings tire chains into position for traction, and its bracket is mounted near the rear brake hardware. That bracket can interfere with the caliper and restrict its movement, so the rear brake assembly does not operate through its intended range.

There is no warning sign before failure. A driver or service crew should not expect a dash light, noise, or pedal change before the interference affects caliper movement.

Who's affected?

Spans Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Velocity, Arrow Xt, and Dash trucks from the 2006-2010 model years, all tied to the hydraulic brake system.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.

What's the safety risk?

Interference with the disc brake calipers can reduce braking performance without warning and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Pierce dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2010 Pierce Arrow Xt, Dash, Enforcer, Impel, Quantum, Velocity, or Dash fire truck is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Pierce dealer and ask whether the free automatic tire chain bracket repair is open for your VIN.
  3. Schedule the new automatic tire chain bracket installation, which adds clearance so the rear disc brake calipers can move fully.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Pierce mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V317 when you call.
  5. Drive with caution until the repair is complete because rear brake performance can be reduced without warning.

What happens at the repair

At the Pierce dealer, a Pierce technician installs new automatic tire chain brackets. The new brackets add clearance so the rear disc brake calipers can move through their full range without contacting the Onspot automatic tire chain hardware. The filing says this service is performed free of charge and the safety recall began in July 2010. If the dealer treats the remedy as not open in its system, the covered repair will be free once available.

What is the safety risk?

The risk is reduced braking performance without warning.
