Summary

Spartan Fire, LLC is recalling 8 of its 2022 Gladiator and MetroStar fire trucks because the front wheel parking brake may fail to engage. If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle in place, it could lead to unintended movement, which poses a serious safety hazard for emergency responders and the public. To address this issue, dealers will inspect and repair the parking brake systems at no cost to the vehicle owners.

Risk

A parking brake that fails to engage can cause these heavy fire trucks to roll away unexpectedly, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or injury to bystanders and property.
