Other#2021385June 21, 2021
449 units affected
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.
Steering#2016453September 19, 2016

On certain vehicles, the power steering pump may have an undersized bore in the spool housing. This may cause the spool to stick, resulting in reduced power steering fluid flow which may result in an intermittent loss of power steering without warning. An intermittent loss of power steering could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering pump.
