Spartan affected vehicles are equipped with a pressure governor or hand throttle supplied by Fire Research Corporation (FRC).
The short version
Spartan Motors, Inc. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles are equipped with a pressure governor or hand throttle supplied by Fire Research Corporation (FRC). Due to an issue with the software for the pressure governor or hand throttle, the affected vehicles may experience an engine surge.
A surge in engine speed can cause increased water pressure at the end of a fire hose, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will install a software update, free of charge.
