Spartan Aerial Fire Vehicles Recalled for Detaching Rotation Interlock Magnets
Spartan ERV is recalling specific aerial fire vehicles because adhesive on rotation interlock magnets degrades, causing them to detach and potentially leading to vehicle instability and rollover.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in aerial fire vehicles that can lead to instability and rollover, posing a significant risk of personal injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or structural defects.
Plain-English summary
Spartan ERV is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 aerial fire vehicles, including the RMA 103, RMP 100, RMA 75, and TDA models. The recall affects 85 vehicles equipped with rotation interlock magnets that are attached using adhesive.
The adhesive used to secure these magnets degrades over time, which can cause the magnets to detach. Without properly positioned rotation interlock magnets, the aerial position cannot be properly tracked. If the outriggers are not fully deployed, this failure can cause the vehicle to become unstable and roll over, resulting in personal injury.
Spartan has notified owners that the rotation interlock magnets will be secured using mechanical fasteners at no charge. Owners may contact Spartan ERV at 1-800-867-6478, Option 2, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
