2015 Maintainer Custom Body recalls
Recall 21V-503: Exterior Lighting
Problem: Maintainer Corporation of Iowa, Inc. (Maintainer) is recalling one 2015 Custom Bodies Heavy Rescue Truck. The all-in-one rear LED lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Maintainer will notify the owner, and provide instructions on how to obtain a filter kit from the light manufacturer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 23, 2021. Owners may contact Maintainer's customer service at 1-800-831-8588.
Recall 19V-898: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Maintainer Corporation of Iowa, Inc. (Maintainer) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Custom Bodies Heavy Rescue emergency response vehicles equipped with a pneumatically-controlled automatic tire chain system. The air pressure control lines may not be pressure-protected.
Risk: Without the control line being pressure-protected, in the event the control line is severed, air may suddenly be lost from the service reservoir system, causing the brakes to apply unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Maintainer has notified owners, and Spartan dealers will inspect the routing of the control lines, rerouting them into the auxiliary air reservoir as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 23, 2019. Owners may contact Maintainer customer service at 1-800-831-8588 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008.
