2008–2010 Spartan Furion & 2008–2010 Spartan Gladiator + 2 more recall: stability control

⚠️ What's wrong

Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 Gladiator, Metrostar, Furion, and Diamond fire apparatus and ambulance chassis manufactured from january 29, 2008 through january 25, 2010, equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control systems (ESC). In certain cases, the ESC may inadvertently interpret vehicle instability, even though the vehicle may be stable, which would require intervention of brake activation to a selected wheel.

💥 The risk

Inadvertent brake application to a selected wheel may cause the drive to try and over correct, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Spartan will notify owners and authorized service centers will perform the repairs free of charge. The safety recall began on july 12, 2010. Owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-5008, option 5.

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.)
