Spartan Fire, LLC is recalling 17 of its 2017-2019 Gladiator and 2018-2019 Metro Star fire trucks because the service brakes may take longer than expected to engage. This delay fails to meet federal safety standards for air brake systems and can result in the vehicle traveling further than intended after the driver applies the brakes. To resolve this issue, dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace plumbing, fittings, or the quick release valve at no cost to the owner.
A delay in brake engagement increases the distance required to stop the fire truck, significantly raising the risk of a crash during emergency or routine operation.
