EQUIPMENT:EMERGENCY:FIRE SUPRESSION
- The defect
- Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2009-2021 Spartan Gladiator, MetroStar, and MetroStarX emergency vehicles. The fire water pump solenoid may corrode internally, causing a loss of power to the pump control module.
- What it can cause
- A loss of power to the pump control module can cause a loss of water pressure for fighting fires, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Spartan Fire LLC will remove and replace the pump shift solenoid, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 12, 2021. Owners may contact Custom Fire's customer service at 1-715-294-2555.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .

How this campaign compares
At 12 vehicles this is a small campaign: 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2009 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 12 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Custom Fire vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in February 2020 as 20V111000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 22V316000 (power train), 21V630000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V618000 (steering).
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.
Filed by Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. with NHTSA on August 10, 2021 as campaign 21V628000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
