NHTSA campaign 11V515000 · Electronic Stability Control (esc) · filed Oct 13, 2011 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
AMERICAN LAFRANCE (ALF) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 AND 2011 EAGLE FIRE TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 21, 2010, THROUGH AUGUST 25, 2011, EQUIPPED WITH A MERITOR WABCO ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM, MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 2009 THROUGH OCTOBER 2011. THE ESC MODULE MAY CAUSE THE ESC SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE UNNECESSARILY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN A PARTICULAR MANNER ON CERTAIN UNIQUE ROAD CONDITIONS AND MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SLIP ANGLE CALCULATION BY THE ESC MODULE.
The risk
THIS MIGHT CAUSE THE ESC TO PERCEIVE AN OVER STEERING SITUATION AND THEREFORE APPLY THE FRONT AXLE OUTER WHEEL SERVICE BRAKE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS PERCEIVED TO BE STABLE BY THE ESC. IF THE DRIVER IS SLOW TO REACT DURING THIS ESC INTERVENTION, THE VEHICLE MAY DEVIATE FROM THE INTENDED LINE OF TRAVEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
