Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling 6 fire trucks, including certain 2021-2023 Spartan Fire Gladiator, MetroStar, FC-94, and KME Panther models. These vehicles may contain tie rod clamps that were improperly heat-treated, which can cause the clamps to break and the tie rods to separate. Owners of these fire trucks should contact Marion Body Works to have both tie rod clamps replaced by a dealer at no cost.
If the tie rod clamps fail, the tie rods can separate from the vehicle, leading to a sudden and complete loss of steering control. This failure significantly increases the risk of a crash during emergency or standard operation.
Dealers will replace both tie rod clamps free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
