1997–2004 American Lafrance Eagle Recall

Issued June 17, 2004
Issue
Hazard description
On certain fire trucks, one or both of the cab tilt cylinders may lock when the cab is being lowered. This can happen if a velocity fuse trips in either of the cylinders. If only one velocity fuse trips and not the other, the resulting unequal loading may cause one of both of the cylinders to bend allowing the cab to lower to the chassis. Correction: Dealers will install flow restricting orifices to the cab tilt system.
