Description

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