Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Spartan Motors USA is recalling certain 2014-2016 Legend and Star fire trucks manufactured between April 15, 2015, and April 16, 2016. These vehicles may have C20 and C21 split-shaft transmissions from Waterous that could have a damaged component in the shift unit, preventing operators from switching power output between the vehicle's wheels and add-on equipment like water pumps. If power cannot be redirected to the pump once a fire truck reaches an emergency scene, the truck cannot pump water to help fight fires, creating a risk of injury.
Spartan will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the retaining clevis pin and retaining rings at no charge. The recall began on September 12, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008 and reference recall number 16021 to arrange service.
