Alexis Fire Equipment Company is recalling 20 of its 2021-2023 Spartan Metro Star and FC-94 fire trucks due to a manufacturing defect in the steering system. The tie rod clamps on these vehicles may have been improperly heat-treated, which can cause them to break and allow the tie rods to detach. Dealers will replace both affected tie rod clamps for all owners free of charge.
If the tie rod clamps fail and the tie rods separate, the driver will experience a sudden and complete loss of steering control. This significantly increases the risk of a crash, particularly during emergency response operations.
