What's wrong

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Gladiator and MetroStar emergency vehicles manufactured from November 18, 2014, through July 9, 2015. Under certain conditions, the fire-suppression-agent tank level pressure sensor may register an incorrect reading. This may result in the reading to indicate more agent (typically water or fire fighting foam) left in the tank than actually is.

Consequence

If there is an incorrect reading of agent in the tank, it can increase the risk of injury to the fire fighter if the tank unexpectedly runs out of agent.

Remedy

Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the tank level system or supply a new sensor, free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2016. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 16003.
