The problem
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Spartan Metrostar emergency vehicles. The wheel studs may have not been properly heat treated causing them to fail.
The risk
If enough of the improperly heat treated studs fail on the same steer axle hub, the wheel may detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
All affected vehicles have been repaired, therefore owner notification letters will not be mailed. The recall began June 26, 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 18027.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
