Spartan Fire, LLC is recalling 69 fire trucks, including 2020-2023 Spartan Fire S-180 Pumper, Smeal Aerial, Smeal Pumper, and Spartan Fire Ladder Tower Aerial Fire Apparatus models. A firmware defect in the vehicle's electrical multiplex system may prevent the system from shutting off power during a short circuit or wiring failure. This fault leads to overloaded electrical circuits that can overheat, and Spartan Fire will update the vehicle firmware for all affected units free of charge.
If a short circuit occurs, the software fails to cut power to the affected wiring, causing the electrical circuits to overheat and significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Free firmware update for the vehicle multiplex system.
