What's wrong?
The injector fuel supply tube is the metal line that carries diesel fuel from the fuel rail to an injector on the engine. On the 2015-2021 Pierce Enforcer, Quantum, Velocity, and Arrow Xt fire trucks, the recall focuses on the tubes for cylinders four, five, and six. Those tubes work under high fuel pressure, so they have to stay rigid, sealed, and properly supported while the engine vibrates.
On the recalled trucks, the tubes are susceptible to cracking from metal fatigue. The fatigue comes from engine vibration, strain from assembly, and the strength of the tube material. Once a crack opens, diesel fuel can leak from the pressurized line instead of going only to the injector.
Fuel leaks can be found during maintenance. An operator can also smell fuel or see a mist near the engine area, which is the warning sign Pierce describes before the leak is found.
Who's affected?
Spans Enforcer, Quantum, Velocity, and Arrow Xt trucks across the 2015-2021 model years, all using the same injector fuel supply tube.

What's the safety risk?
A high pressure fuel leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Warning signs include fuel smell, visible mist, or a leak found during maintenance.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Pierce technician checks the engine mileage first. Engines with 75 miles or less get vibration isolators installed on the fuel tubes. Engines with more than 75 miles get new fuel tubes with vibration isolators. The replacement parts and labor are free under recall 22V032. Pierce has a recall-specific reimbursement plan for units not covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty. If you already paid for a related fuel-tube repair, contact Pierce customer service and ask how to submit documentation under that plan.
