Alexis Fire Equipment Company is recalling 27 fire apparatus vehicles from the 2021-2024 model years that were built on Spartan Chassis. These vehicles have a defect in the inversion valve that can cause a delay when the operator tries to engage the parking brake. Because of this defect, the vehicles do not meet the safety requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121 for Air Brake Systems. Owners can have their vehicles inspected and repaired by a dealer free of charge.
A delay in the parking brake engagement can allow the heavy fire vehicle to move unexpectedly after the operator believes it is secured. This unintentional movement significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury to first responders and bystanders.
Inspection and replacement of the inversion valve.
