The problem
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 gladiator fire apparatus class 8 vehicles manufactured beginning august 21, 2007 through march 8, 2010, equipped with detroit diesel series 60 engines. The engine may shut down unexpectedly when a diesel particulate filter over temperature condition is detected.
The risk
Unexpected emergency vehicle engine shutdown under certain conditions could hamper rescue operations and place the public at risk.
The fix
Spartan will notify owners and detroit diesel will repair the vehicles free of charge by reprogramming the engine control logic to illuminate a malfunction indicator light without requesting engine shutdown. Please see daimler trucks' defect report 10e-005. The safety recall began on may 19, 2010. Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712 or spartan chassis at 1-800-543-4277 - option 1.
