What happened

Spartan Motors USA is recalling certain 2014-2015 Gladiator and MetroStar emergency vehicles manufactured between November 18, 2014, and July 9, 2015. The fire-suppression-agent tank level pressure sensor in these vehicles may display an incorrect reading, showing more agent (such as water or fire fighting foam) remaining in the tank than actually is present. This inaccurate reading could cause firefighters to be unexpectedly without agent during operations, increasing the risk of injury.

Spartan will notify owners, and authorized dealers will recalibrate the tank level system or provide a new sensor at no charge. Affected consumers should contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008 to arrange service, referencing recall number 16003.
