Spartan Fire, LLC is recalling 225 emergency vehicles, including 2021-2023 Gladiator, MetroStar, FC-94, and KME Panther models. The tie rod clamps on these vehicles may have been improperly heat-treated during manufacturing, which can cause them to fail. If the clamps fail, the tie rods can separate, leading to a sudden loss of steering control. Owners should contact an authorized dealer to have the tie rod clamps replaced free of charge.
The tie rod clamps can break due to improper heat treatment, allowing the tie rods to detach from the steering system. This causes an immediate loss of steering capability, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of tie rod clamps.
