- Campaign:
- 09V433000 on 11/03/2009
- Component:
- Engine and engine cooling
- Affected:
- 117
- Defect:
- Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 fire apparatus and ambulance cab/chassis manufactured between june 2, 2008 and september 2, 2009, equipped with cummins isc cm2150 and isl cm2150 model diesel engines. the vehicles may be designed with a hard wired, dash-mounted switch that enables the vehicle operator to inhibit aftertreatment diesel particulate filter regeneration in environments where the operator believes it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures. due to an issue with the logic in the ecm software in these engines, the switch may not function correctly, leading the operator to believe that the switch is in "inhibit" mode when it is not.

- This condition will permit hot exhaust gases to exit the vehicle tailpipe, increasing the risk of melting or burning of nearby surfaces, or a fire.
- Correction:
- Spartan is working with cummins to repair the engines free of charge. please see 09e-046. the safety recall began on november 13, 2009. owners may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels (1-800-343-7357) or spartan chassis at 1-800-543-4277 - option 1.
