Toyne Inc. (Toyne) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Spartan Metro Star emergency vehicles manufactured December 20, 2014, to June 3, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with certain K Gearboxes from Hale Products which may shift out of gear from "road" to "neutral" while the truck is in transit. If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral on the way to attend a fire, the delay may hinder fire fighting efforts. Additionally, the loss of drive may increase the risk of a crash.
