Safety risk: a loss of power to the pump control module can cause a loss of water pressure for fighting fires. This could delay emergency response and increase the risk of injury. Corrective actions: spartan fire will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to replace the pump shift solenoid.
Recall 2018043 [Canada]: Electrical
On certain vehicles equipped with an iota 50 amp transfer switch which is used to switch power between on-vehicle generator and shoreline power. Under certain heavy duty cycles, the lugs on the buss bar may loosen. Under high electrical loads, loose electrical connections could cause the circuit to overheat, which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the iota switch.
Recall 2015289 [Canada]: Engine
On certain vehicles, the engine cooling fan may crack and lead to the separation of the fan blades without warning, potentially causing personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the engine cooling fans.
Recall 2014466 [Canada]: Powertrain
On certain emergency response chassis cabs equipped with a transmission retarder, the transmission fluid cooler may fail, allowing engine coolant to mix with transmission fluid. This could result in the transmission to not shift into certain ranges, or could lock into a range where upshifting may be restricted, which could increase the risk of a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the transmission cooler.
Recall 2014210 [Canada]: Engine
On certain vehicles equipped with cummins ism or caterpillar c9 engines, the engine cooling fan may fail and break apart. If this occurs while the hood is open, a person in the vicinity of the engine could be struck by the blade and injured. Correction: dealers will replace the radiator fan and install a stiffener disc.
Recall 2014027 [Canada]: Engine
On certain vehicles equipped with cummins ism engines, the engine cooling fan may fail and break apart. If this occurs while the hood is open, a person in the vicinity of the engine could be struck by the blade and injured. Correction: dealers will replace the radiator fan and install a stiffener disc.
Recall 2013443 [Canada]: Suspension
On certain vehicles equipped with ridewell independent front suspension systems, critical welds on the suspension cradle could crack, allowing the steering bell crank to separate from the cradle, resulting in a loss of steering. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: reinforcing brackets will be installed.
Recall 2013433 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
On certain chassis cabs, the seat belt(s) may not comply with canada motor vehicle safety standard 209 - seat belt assemblies. Due to a defect in manufacturing, the seat belt buckle may not release as required by the standard. This could hinder egress from the vehicle in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace affected seatbelt buckles.
Recall 2011382 [Canada]: Other
On certain vehicles, specific operating conditions (such as tight, successive, highly banked curves in opposite directions), could trigger unintended electronic stability control (esc) system intervention. As a result, the esc may unnecessarily apply one of the front brakes in order to correct the perceived oversteer condition. This may cause the vehicle to deviate from the intended path, thereby increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the esc module.
