Defect:

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.
