Spartan recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 emergency rescue chassis manufactured from february 3 2009 through june 3, 2010. The control module which houses the cab tilt control circuit is subject to fluid intrusion. When fluid enters the module, an electrical short could occur causing the cab to tilt(hoist) without warning.
What could happen
If the cab were to tilt while the vehicle is in motion, it may surprise the driver who may then react adversely which could result in a crash.
The fix
Spartan will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-4277 option 1.
