2009–2010 Spartan Furion R/T recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 emergency rescue chassis manufactured from february 3 2009 through june 3, 2010. The control module which houses the cab tilt control circuit is subject to fluid intrusion. When fluid enters the module, an electrical short could occur causing the cab to tilt(hoist) without warning.
💥 The risk
If the cab were to tilt while the vehicle is in motion, it may surprise the driver who may then react adversely which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Spartan will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-4277 option 1.
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.)
