Issue: On certain fire trucks,the pump shift solenoid may become corroded and fail. If this happens, power to the pump control module may be lost, and the vehicle may not shift into pump mode. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the pump control module can cause a loss of water pressure for fighting fires. This could delay emergency response and increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Spartan Fire will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to replace the pump shift solenoid.
- Brakes#2015310
49 units affected
On certain fire trucks, front tire valve stems may wear against the brake calipers, potentially resulting in a leak and tire air loss without warning while the vehicle is in motion. This could affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace valve stems.
- Engine#2015289
359 units affected
On certain vehicles, the engine cooling fan may crack and lead to the separation of the fan blades without warning, potentially causing personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine cooling fans.
- Brakes#2014532
65 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a Wabco quick release with double check valves, used to control park/spring brake application, the valve may leak internally. This could cause unintended partial or full park/spring brake application, which could affect service brake function and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
- Seats And Restraints#2014444
8 units affected
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection. Seat belts installed at certain seating positions may not have an adjustment range that is sufficient to restrain a 5th percentile adult female, contrary to the requirements of the standard. This would increase the potential for injury to certain seat occupants in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install replacement shorter-length seat belt buckles.
- Powertrain#2014355
6 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines, the fuel filter shell and nut plate could separate, causing a fuel leak and also causing the engine to stall. Stalling would result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel filter.
- Seats And Restraints#2013433
3 units affected
On certain chassis cabs, the seat belt(s) may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209 - Seat Belt Assemblies. Due to a defect in manufacturing, the seat belt buckle may not release as required by the standard. This could hinder egress from the vehicle in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace affected seatbelt buckles.
