The hazard
On certain fire trucks, a defect in the ball joint boots could allow corrosion to form in the joint, leading to accelerated wear. This could cause premature ball joint failure, potentially resulting in a loss of steering control which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the ball joints and repair as necessary.
