2008 Spartan ADV recalls
Recall 09V-352: Air Bags
Problem: Spartan is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2009 adv, dia, gld, and mtr fire truck cab and chassis vehicles manufactured between january 16, 2006 and august 10, 2009 and equipped with the rolltek supplemental side restraint system. The side air bags associated with the supplemental restraint system may inadvertently deploy due to fluid intrusion into the control modules.
Risk: Inadvertent deployment of the air bag could result in injury to out of position occupants and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Spartan is working with the vehicle manufactures to identify vehicles that may contain the defect. The affected vehicles will be repaired by spartan free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about october 5, 2009. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or spartan chassis toll-free at 1-800-543-5008.
Recall 09V-184: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Spartan is recalling 484 model years 2008-2010 adv, bey, fur, glc, gld, k2, k3, mg, mm, mtr, and nvs fire truck, ambulance, and motor home chassis manufactured between july 1 and december 16, 2008 equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (Qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
Risk: Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Each vehicle manufacturer will provide a remedy plan and notification schedule. The affected vehicles will be repaired without charge to the owners. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or spartan chassis toll-free at 1-800-543-4277.
