What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2002-2019 Pumpers, Tankers and Rescue vehicles built on a Spartan Motors chassis. The service brake air reservoir system may not be pressure protected where the control line for the automatic tire chain system is connected.

The risk

If the control line is cut, the service brake air system may suddenly lose air, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Spartan will notify Custom Fire owners. Dealers will inspect the routing of the control lines, rerouting them into the auxiliary air reservoir as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact Custom Fire customer service at 1-715-294-2555. Custom Fire's number for this recall is 19V674.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
