- Manufactured:
- 02/22/2004 - 06/15/2010
- Affected:
- 85
- Defect:
- Spartan erv (spartan) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 rma 75 and rmp 100; model year 2004-2009 rma 103 and model year 2004-2010 tda aerial fire vehicles. these vehicles are equipped with rotation interlock magnets that are attached by an adhesive. the adhesive degrades over time causing the magnets to detach.
