2000 American Lafrance Eagle recalls
Recall 04V-270: Structure
Problem: 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.
Risk: If only one velocity fuse trips and not the other, the resulting unequal loading may cause one or both of the cylinders to bend allowing the cab to lower to the chassis.
Fix: Dealers will install flow restrictors in the cab tilt blinders to reduce the speed at which the cab lowers. The recall began on october 11, 2004. Owners should contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
