On certain fire trucks, a problem inside the door latch assemblies could cause the doors to become stuck. If this happens, the doors may not be able to be opened.
Doors that can't be opened could slow your exit from the vehicle and/or delay emergency responders from entering the vehicle. This could increase the risk of injury.
Spartan Fire will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to an authorized service facility to inspect and, if necessary, replace the door latch assemblies.
On certain emergency vehicles, the inversion valve in the air brake system may not work properly. As a result, there could be a delay before the parking brake applies. If this happens, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. This issue also causes the vehicle not to meet the requirements of the Canadian regulations.
A delay before the parking brake applies could result in unintended vehicle movement, and create the risk of an injury or a crash.
Spartan Fire will notify the owners by mail and arrange for an inspection of the inversion valve. If the valve is not certified, it will be replaced.
On certain fire trucks, the retaining clips (keepers) may not have been installed correctly on the steer axle nuts. As a result, an axle nut could loosen and a wheel end could separate from the truck.
A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.
Spartan Fire will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to an authorized service facility to inspect the steer axle nut retaining clips, and replace them if necessary.
On certain fire trucks, the transmission control module (TCM) may not be programmed correctly. As a result, the pump mode may not engage properly, and the truck may not pump water.
A fire pump that doesn't work could cause a lack of water pressure for fighting fires. This could delay emergency response and increase the risk of injury.
Spartan Fire will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to an Allison Transmission service center to reprogram the TCM.
On certain emergency vehicles, the tie rod end clamps could crack and loosen. If this happens, the threads on the tie rod end could become damaged and the tie rod end could separate. This could cause a loss of steering control.
A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash.
Spartan Fire will notify the owners by mail and instruct you to contact Meritor to arrange for replacement of the tie rod end clamps.
