The trucks produced during the subject timeframe that are not involved in this recall do not contain this crossmember design. Production Dates : DEC 01, 2011 – DEC 31, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : Under certain extreme conditions, the mounting plate of the crossmember may fatigue and eventually crack. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : The presence of cracking in this crossmember may lead to popping or banging noises when turning or driving over rough roads. These noises could potentially startle or distract the vehicles driver and jeopardize the safe operation of the vehicle. Description of the Cause : The potential defect is caused by repeated high intensity shocks being induced into a single front tire, such as when hitting potholes or road curbing at higher speeds. This motion can cause the crossmember to be subject to higher tension loads than it was originally designed Identification of Any Warning Light popping or creaking noises may be noticed during turns or when driving over rough roads. These noises could eventually get louder creating a driving Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-010 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 that can Occur : distraction.

Seagrave began an investigation that included obtaining and inspecting parts returned from the field as well as analyzing the specific operating conditions and uses to determine the root cause of the failures. March 23, 2021- Seagrave was notified of 3 additional cracked crossmembers from the same customer after a full fleet inspection was completed as part of the investigation into the report. July – September 2021 – Seagrave received 4 additional reports of cracked crossmembers unrelated to the original report. This prompted the escalation of the issue into a Seagrave Service and Engineering (SSE) Project for further investigation. September – November 2021 – The SSE Team initiated an investigation into the reported failures. This investigation included a product history review that identified 1 more failure that was reported in 2018, further defective part analyzation, a part manufacturing process review, and part design verification with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) computer simulations that were used in determining the root cause of the failures as well as to develop and evaluate the potential corrective action. October-November 2021- The SSE Team developed a new crossmember design to replace the suspect design and submitted them to 3rd party design simulations for validation. Simultaneously, the SSE Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-010 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Team submitted alternative designs for a potential field repair to 3rd party design simulations for validation. December 2021- Seagrave escalated the issue through its Seagrave Product Safety Committee process. January 6, 2022 – Based upon the results of the investigation, the Seagrave Product Safety Committee decided to conduct a safety campaign to address this condition. To date, there have been no reports of a crash caused by this condition. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The affected vehicles will have the suspect crossmember removed and a modified crossmember installed. The total repair time is estimated at 5 hours. Dealers will submit a repair reimbursement claim to [email protected] and Seagrave Fire Apparatus will ship all necessary parts and pay the Dealer directly for labor charges. If any owners have paid for this repair prior to notification, owners can submit for a reimbursement of the cost of the repair to [email protected] for review. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The remedy crossmember is made with thicker end plates and strategically located gusseting that eliminates the high stress area that was found during the FEA computer modelling that was conducted during the investigation. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : In December 2021 the updated crossmember designs were implemented into production. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Seagrave will send out Owner and Dealer Notifications no later then 03/14/2022. Planned Dealer Notification Date : MAR 14, 2022 – MAR 14, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : MAR 14, 2022 – MAR 14, 2022 * NR – Not Reported
