2022 Marion Body Works Spartan Fire Gladiator & 2023 Marion Body Works Spartan Fire Metrostar recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2022 Gladiator and 2023 MetroStar emergency vehicles. After the vehicle is reversed, the transmission control module (TCM) may fail to achieve the 4th gear lockup needed to initiate the water pump.
💥 The risk
A fire truck that is unable to pump water increases the risk of injury during a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will update the TCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 30, 2023. Owners may contact Marion's customer service at 1-715-754-5261.
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.)
