2020 Ferrara Igniter problems, complaints & recalls

Defect: Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Inferno, Igniter, and Cinder emergency vehicles. The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.

Risk: A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Fix: On engines with 75 miles or less, dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes. Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 31, 2022.
