2011 SPARTAN GLADIATOR; 2010 SPARTAN METROSTAR; 2011 SPARTAN METROSTAR
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Spartan is recalling certain 2010-2011 Metrostar and 2010 Gladiator fire apparatus chassis/cab vehicles manufactured between April 9, 2010 and April 25, 2011 that are equipped with Rolltek Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) side air bags. These vehicles have a defect where the side air bag warning indicator light may not function properly, meaning operators would not be alerted if a fault develops in the side air bag system.
If the side air bag system malfunctions and the operator is not warned, vehicle occupants face an increased risk of injury or more severe injuries in a crash that requires the side air bags to deploy. To remedy this issue, dealers will inspect the side air bag warning indicator light and connect wires as necessary for the SRS to function properly at no charge. Owners should contact Spartan at 1-800-543-5008, Option 5.
