EQUIPMENT:EMERGENCY:SIREN/LIGHTING/STROBES
- The defect
- Precision Industries, Inc. (Precision Industries) is recalling two 2021 Emergency vehicles built on Spartan Metrostar chassis. The electrical multiplex module had an additional resistor incorrectly installed on the printed circuit board, which can disrupt CAN network communication and cause vehicle lighting to fail.
- What it can cause
- Inoperative vehicle lighting can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Precision Industries replaced the modules, free of charge. Both affected vehicles have been repaired. Owners may contact Precision Industries customer service at 1-573-346-8387.
- 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 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% 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 one model year, 2021, 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 equipment 3 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V567000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V747000 (parking brake), 23V631000 (parking brake), 22V879000 (steering), 22V871000 (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 Precision Industries, Inc. with NHTSA on October 17, 2022 as campaign 22V780000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
