POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
- The defect
- Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2022 Gladiator and 2023 MetroStar emergency vehicles. After the vehicle is reversed, the transmission control module (TCM) may fail to achieve the 4th gear lockup needed to initiate the water pump.
- What it can cause
- A fire truck that is unable to pump water increases the risk of injury during a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the TCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 30, 2023. Owners may contact Marion's customer service at 1-715-754-5261.
- 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 model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Marion Body Works Inc. with NHTSA on May 31, 2023 as campaign 23V366000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
