Issued by Alexis Fire Equipment Company · Reported Nov 7, 2023 · 27 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Alexis Fire Equipment Company (Alexis Fire) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Fire Apparatus vehicles built on Spartan Chassis. A defect in the inversion valve may delay park brake engagement, which could allow the vehicle to move unintentionally. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Consequence

Unintentional vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the inversion valves as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 20, 2023. Owners may contact Alexis Fire customer service at 1-309-482-6121.
