What's wrong?
The front suspension on a 2015-2019 Ferrara Inferno fire truck supports the front axle and keeps the wheels controlled as the truck turns, brakes, and carries weight. These trucks use an independent front suspension from Reyco Granning. The front shocks are part of that system; they dampen bouncing and keep suspension movement controlled.
On affected trucks, a front shock can separate from its upper mount. Once loose, the shock is no longer held where it belongs and can strike the steering gear housing. That housing contains the steering gear and steering fluid path that help provide power steering assist. Damage there can cause a steering fluid leak and reduce or remove power steering assist.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the remedy is not visually apparent, an owner or fleet shop should not assume a truck is repaired just by looking at the suspension.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 Inferno model years, all tied to the same front suspension component.

What's the safety risk?
Loss of hydraulic steering assist makes the Inferno harder to steer and increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so take any sudden steering change seriously and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ferrara dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Ferrara dealer to schedule the free front-suspension inspection and repair that keeps a loose front shock from damaging the steering gear housing.
- Bring the recall notice if Ferrara mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V677 when you call.
- Watch for steering fluid leaks or reduced power-steering assist until the repair is complete.
- Call Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006 with questions about scheduling or repair status.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ferrara technician works with Reyco Granning to inspect the independent front suspension, including the front shocks, upper shock mounts, and nearby steering gear housing. The technician repairs the affected suspension hardware and related damage as needed so the shock stays secured and does not contact the steering gear. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered under campaign 19V677.
