ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Spartan Fire, LLC (Spartan Fire) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Gladiator, MetroStar, and 2022-2023 FC-94 fire trucks. An additional resistor was incorrectly installed on the printed circuit board, which can disrupt CAN network communication and cause vehicle lighting to fail.
- What it can cause
- Inoperable vehicle lighting can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 18, 2022. Owners may contact Spartan Fire's customer service at 1-800-543-6400. Spartan Fire's number for this recall is 22001.
- 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 27 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% 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 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Spartan Fire vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 4 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V535000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V584000 (latches/locks/linkages), 24V507000 (suspension), 24V323000 (seats), 24V181000 (electrical system).
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.
