Issued by Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. · Reported May 9, 2022 · 5 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Custom Fire) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Spartan Gladiator, MetroStar, and MetroStar-RT emergency vehicles. The rear axle drive pinion may fracture.

Consequence

A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose, and unintentionally engage the parking brake without detection or without the brake lights activating, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy
