2006 Spartan DA32L-2142 & 2006 Spartan DA3AH-2142 + 22 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain fire trucks equipped with cummins isl CM850 diesel engines, the connecting rods which transfer energy from the piston to the crankshaft are defective and CAN result in seizure of the piston pin. A piston pin seizure CAN result in a mission-disabling engine failure.
💥 The risk
This condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Spartan is working with cummins to replace the connecting rods free of charge. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400 or cummins at 1-800-DIESELS.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
