EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Spartan Fire, LLC (Spartan) is recalling one 2019 Gladiator firefighting vehicle equipped with battery-powered 3600 wireless remote controller units used to control the movement of electric firefighting monitors in firefighting vehicles. The monitor is used to direct the water stream and adjust the spray pattern. The wireless remote controller's sleep mode is disabled, resulting in the batteries discharging faster than normal.
- What it can cause
- Inability to use the wireless remote controller may hinder the firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Spartan has notified the dealer that has the unit and will request that they return the affected wireless remote controller to Akron Brass for a software update to enable the sleep mode, free of charge. This recall began June 15, 2020. Owners may contact Akron Brass customer service at 1-800-228-1161 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-867-6478.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
