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 vehicle defect (door latch) that may trap occupants, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Alexis Fire Equipment Company is recalling certain 2020-2025 Pumper, 2024 Rescue, and 2020-2024 Tanker fire trucks built on Spartan chassis. The recall involves 22 vehicles in total.

The actuator lever arm in the Spartan cab door latch may bind or become wedged, which can prevent the door from opening. A door that cannot be opened may trap occupants inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will inspect and replace the door latches as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 7, 2025. Owners may contact Alexis Fire customer service at 1-309-482-6121.
