💥 Crash riskNHTSA 11V240📅 Apr 18, 2011

2010–2011 Spartan Furion & 2010–2011 Spartan Gladiator + 1 more recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

Spartan is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Furion, Gladiator, and Metrostar fire apparatus chassis/cab produced from april 8, 2010, through march 24, 2011. Certain tell tales does not illuminate when they are intended (high beam lamp, turn signals), or flicker. In addition, the ABS lamp may not illuminate when the system is affected by a fault. Therefore these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 101, "controls and displays" and federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems."

💥 The risk

The tell tale for the high beam may not illuminate when the high beam head lights are activated resulting in a potential distraction to oncoming traffic. Also, the ABS lamp may not illuminate when a malfunction occurs therefore not alerting the driver. Both of these consequences could increase the risk of crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will reprogram the control panel for the tell tales with logic that will ensure the tells will work as designed without interruption. The safety recall began on june 6, 2011. 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.)
