Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2008 Spartan Diamond in Canada.
On certain emergency response chassis cabs equipped with a transmission retarder, the transmission fluid cooler may fail, allowing engine coolant to mix with transmission fluid. This could result in the transmission to not shift into certain ranges, or could lock into a range where upshifting may be restricted, which could increase the risk of a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the transmission cooler.
A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
Certain fire trucks equipped with a Ridewell Independent Front Suspension (IFS) cradle may be missing or have incomplete critical welds at the bell crank support brackets. Lacking or insufficient welds may lead to a complete separation of the bell crank support bracket from the main structure (cradle assembly). A complete separation of the bell crank support bracket(s) could restrict steering movement and result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Ridewell will inspect for missing welds. If cracks are identified the suspension cradle will be replaced. If no cracks are found the required welds will be applied.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain fire trucks equipped with a Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, electromagnetic interference may simulate a false yaw event in the control module for the ESC system, leading the system to inadvertently interpreting a vehicle instability. Inadvertent brake application to a selected wheel without prior warning may cause the driver to try and over correct, resulting in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will relocate the transmission power cable.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
