Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source describes a risk of crash and injury due to loss of exterior lighting and pump-mode function, but does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths.

Plain-English summary

Spartan Fire, LLC is recalling one 2024 Metrostar emergency vehicle. The recall addresses a defect where a node may become unresponsive, which can cause a loss of functionality for connected components such as exterior lighting and pump-mode.

The loss of exterior lights can reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loss of pump-mode function may prevent or delay the use of emergency equipment, increasing the risk of injury.

Spartan Fire will work with Fire Research Corporation to replace the I/O Nodes free of charge. The owner notification letter is expected to be mailed on November 1, 2026. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan's number for this recall is 26017.
