Pierce DASH in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Pierce DASH is named on 16 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain fire trucks, interference may occur between the aerial front axle interlock sensor bracket and the front air brake hose. This condition occurs during full turn steering and full suspension jounce (compression). This interference may cause chaffing leading to a potential front air brake hose failure. In the event of a front brake hose failure, loss of front braking will occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will remove the existing front axle interlock sensor bracket and install a new bracket in a new location avoiding the front axle brake hose. Note: Further evaluation revealed that only U.S. vehicles are affected.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2005313.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Pierce Arrow XT, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Pierce: 38 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
