The hazard
On certain fire trucks, pins which hold the ladder in place may loosen over time. This could allow the ladder arm to deploy without warning. As such, the ladder could strike another vehicle or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will secure the ladder pins by installing spacers and locking nuts.
