What’s wrong with it?
A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
Rosenbauer Motors (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Commander fire truck cabs and chassis manufactured December 31, 2013, to December 31, 2015, and equipped with certain Independent Front Suspension (IFS) assemblies manufactured by Reyco Granning.
The affected assemblies may have loose ball joints which could separate causing a loss of steering control.
