Component:
Seat belts:front:anchorage
Manufactured:
01/11/1998 - 11/16/2009
Affected:

Campaign:
10V209000 on 05/13/2010
Component:
Electronic stability control
Manufactured:
01/28/2008 - 01/24/2010
Affected:
468
Defect:
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 gladiator, metrostar, furion, and diamond fire apparatus and ambulance chassis manufactured from january 29, 2008 through january 25, 2010, equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control systems (esc). in certain cases, the esc may inadvertently interpret vehicle instability, even though the vehicle may be stable, which would require intervention of brake activation to a selected wheel.
Consequence:
Inadvertent brake application to a selected wheel may cause the drive to try and over correct, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Spartan will notify owners and authorized service centers will perform the repairs free of charge. the safety recall began on july 12, 2010. owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-5008, option 5.

10V245000 on 06/06/2010
Component:
Service brakes, air
Manufactured:
11/13/2008 - 05/24/2010
Affected:
898
Defect:
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 gladiator and metrostar incomplete fire apparatus chassis cabs manufactured from november 14, 2008 through may 25, 2010, equipped with tandem rear axles and electronic stability control (esc). the vehicles fail to meet the service brake release requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." specifically, additional valving required for the esc system reduced the air flow and volume to the brake chambers resulting in slower service brake release timing.
Consequence:
Service brake release timing that does meet the minimum requirements of fmvss 121 may result in less efficient braking performance and will prevent the vehicle from being moved in a timely fashion.
Correction:
Spartan will notify owners and dealers will replace the .38 inch inside diameter brake hose to a .50 inch inside diameter hose free of charge. the safety recall began on september 17, 2010. owners may contact spartan chassis at 1-800-543-5008 - option 5.

Component:
Service brakes, air:slack adjusters:automatic
Manufactured:
03/03/2009 - 02/21/2011
Affected:
12
Defect:
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008, 2010, and 2011 gladiator, as well as model year 2010 metrostar vehicles manufactured from march 4, 2009 through february 22, 2011, and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
Consequence:
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Spartan will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. the safety recall began during march 2011. owners may contact spartan chassis at 1-800-543-5008, option 5.
Notes:
Spartan's recall campaign number is 11006.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Component:
Electrical system: instrument panel
Manufactured:
04/07/2010 - 03/23/2011
Affected:
110
Defect:
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 furion, gladiator, and metrostar fire apparatus chassis/cab produced from april 8, 2010, through march 24, 2011. certain tell tales does not illuminate when they are intended (high beam lamp, turn signals), or flicker. in addition, the abs lamp may not illuminate when the system is affected by a fault. therefore these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 101, "controls and displays" and federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems."
Consequence:
The tell tale for the high beam may not illuminate when the high beam head lights are activated resulting in a potential distraction to oncoming traffic. also, the abs lamp may not illuminate when a malfunction occurs therefore not alerting the driver. both of these consequences could increase the risk of crash.
Correction:
Dealers will reprogram the control panel for the tell tales with logic that will ensure the tells will work as designed without interruption. the safety recall began on june 6, 2011. owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-5008 - option 5.
Notes:
Spartan safety recall no. 11008.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Manufactured:
09/28/2010 - 06/19/2011
Affected:
212
Defect:
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2010, 2011, and 2012 recreational vehicles, models mm, k2, k3, bus, furion, gladiator, and metro star, manufactured from september 29, 2010, through june 20, 2011, equipped with a cummins isb, isc, isl, or isx diesel engine. the v-band clamp assembly, part numbers q187684, q187685, and q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (doc)/diesel particulate filter (dpf) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. a fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/dpf housing to disconnect.
Consequence:
If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. if both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Correction:
Spartan is working with cummins to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign. repairs will be performed by authorized cummins dealers free of charge. the safety recall began on october 10, 2011. owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or spartan at 1-800-543-5008 - option 5.

Manufactured:
04/11/2007 - 09/29/2011
Affected:
799
Defect:
Spartan chassis (spartan), is recalling certain model year 2008 diamond, model year 2008-2009 furion along with model year 2011, model year 2010 furion r/t, model year 2007-2012 gladiator, model year 2008-2012 metrostar and model year 2012 spartan force emergency rescue transport vehicles equipped with an electronic stability control (esc) manufactured from april 12, 2007, through september 30, 2011. the esc module may cause the esc system to activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions and may adversely affect the slip angle calculation by the esc module.
Consequence:
This might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the front axle outer wheel service brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable by the esc. these conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Spartan will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. the safety recall began on december 19, 2011. owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-5008 option 5.
