What this recall means for you
On certain fire pumper, tanker, and rescue vehicles built on a Spartan Motors chassis, the service brake air reservoir may not be pressure protected where the control line for the automatic tire chain system connects. If that control line is cut, the service brake air system can suddenly lose air, which increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will inspect how the control lines are routed and reroute them into the auxiliary air reservoir where needed. Spartan will notify Custom Fire owners directly.
