Description

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Gladiator and MetroStar emergency vehicles manufactured from November 18, 2014, through July 9, 2015. Under certain conditions, the fire-suppression-agent tank level pressure sensor may register an incorrect reading. This may result in the reading to indicate more agent (typically water or fire fighting foam) left in the tank than actually is. If there is an incorrect reading of agent in the tank, it can increase the risk of injury to the fire fighter if the tank unexpectedly runs out of agent.
