Spartan rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.
The short version
Spartan Motors USA reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling 2014-2017 Spartan Gladiator and MetroStar emergency response vehicles equipped with Hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting. Rings securing the valves may corrode over time after exposure to water, causing the ring to fail and the pressure relief valve to open, reducing the water pressure available for fire fighting.
A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Spartan will notify owners and Hale service providers will install a remedy kit, free of charge.
