Toyne Inc.: Power Train › Manual Transmission
Toyne Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 26, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 13. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Toyne Inc. (Toyne) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Spartan Metro Star emergency vehicles manufactured December 20, 2014, to June 3, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with certain K Gearboxes from Hale Products which may shift out of gear from "road" to "neutral" while the truck is in transit.
The risk
If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral on the way to attend a fire, the delay may hinder fire fighting efforts. Additionally, the loss of drive may increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
All of the affected vehicles have been remedied by removing the gearbox, having Hale repair it and then reinstalling it, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyne customer service at 1-712-673-2328. Toyne's number for this recall is SB 129.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V241000.
