10V209000 · Electronic Stability Control (Esc)
Reported: 2010-05-14 (May 14, 2010)

IN CERTAIN CASES, THE ESC MAY INADVERTENTLY INTERPRET VEHICLE INSTABILITY, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE MAY BE STABLE, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE INTERVENTION OF BRAKE ACTIVATION TO A SELECTED WHEEL.
Consequence: INADVERTENT BRAKE APPLICATION TO A SELECTED WHEEL MAY CAUSE THE DRIVE TO TRY AND OVER CORRECT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: SPARTAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTERS WILL PERFORM THE REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 12, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SPARTAN AT 1-800-543-5008, OPTION 5.
NHTSA campaign record ↗11V240000 · Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/Panel
Reported: 2011-04-14 (April 14, 2011)
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.
Remedy: 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.
