Spartan recall: Electronic stability control (esc)
What is wrong
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 gladiator, metrostar, furion, and diamond fire apparatus and ambulance chassis manufactured from january 29, 2008 through january 25, 2010, equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control systems (esc). 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.
What could happen
Inadvertent brake application to a selected wheel may cause the drive to try and over correct, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
The fix
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.
