What's wrong?
The front steer axle on 2023-2024 Pierce Enforcer, Velocity, and Quantum fire trucks carries the tires that guide the truck as it turns and stops. The wheel, or rim, holds the tire bead in place so the tire stays seated under load, steering force, and braking force.
On the recalled trucks, certain Goodyear and Michelin 445/65R 22.5 tires were mounted on wheels that do not match the tire maker's required wheel width. The tire itself is not being used with the rim size specified for that tire. Pierce traced the problem to a vehicle configuration error that allowed an incompatible tire and wheel combination to be built. In the worst case, that mismatch can let the tire separate from the wheel.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver should not expect a light, sound, vibration, or visible change to appear before the tire and wheel assembly comes apart.

Tire separation from the wheel can make the vehicle harder to control and increase the risk of a crash. There is no known warning before it happens, so schedule the recall repair soon and avoid unnecessary driving until the wheel and tire assemblies are replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Pierce dealer.
