Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling two 2024 Spartan Fire Metro Star vehicles due to a manufacturing defect where a mechanical stop is missing from the cab tilt system. This missing part can cause the cylinder used to tilt the cab for maintenance to overextend, potentially leading to a sudden drop of the heavy cab structure. Dealers will inspect the system and replace the cylinder as necessary at no cost to the vehicle owners.
If the cab tilt cylinder overextends while the cab is being raised or held open, the cab can suddenly drop without warning. This creates a severe crushing or impact hazard for anyone working underneath or near the cab, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
Inspection and replacement of the cab tilt cylinder.
