The problem

Alexis Fire Equipment Company (Alexis Fire) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Spartan Metro Star, FC-94 fire trucks. The tie rod clamps may have been improperly heat-treated, causing them to fail and allowing the tie rods to separate.

The risk

Tie rod separation can result in a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace both tie rod clamps, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 6, 2022. Owners may contact Alexis Fire's customer service at 1-309-482-6121.

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.nhtsa.gov.
