2021–2024 Alexis Fire Equipment Fire Apparatus recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Alexis Fire Equipment Company (Alexis Fire) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Fire Apparatus vehicles built on Spartan Chassis. A defect in the inversion valve may delay park brake engagement, which could allow the vehicle to move unintentionally. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
💥 The risk
Unintentional vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the inversion valves as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 20, 2023. Owners may contact Alexis Fire customer service at 1-309-482-6121.
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.)
