Defect: Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2002-2019 Pumpers, Tankers and Rescue vehicles built on a Spartan Motors chassis. The service brake air reservoir system may not be pressure protected where the control line for the automatic tire chain system is connected.
Consequence: If the control line is cut, the service brake air system may suddenly lose air, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Spartan will notify Custom Fire owners. Dealers will inspect the routing of the control lines, rerouting them into the auxiliary air reservoir as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact Custom Fire customer service at 1-715-294-2555. Custom Fire's number for this recall is 19V674.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
