What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2009-2021 Spartan Gladiator, MetroStar, and MetroStarX emergency vehicles. The fire water pump solenoid may corrode internally, causing a loss of power to the pump control module.

The risk

A loss of power to the pump control module can cause a loss of water pressure for fighting fires, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Spartan Fire LLC will remove and replace the pump shift solenoid, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 12, 2021. Owners may contact Custom Fire's customer service at 1-715-294-2555.

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.nhtsa.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.
