Defect. Spartan ERV (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 RMA 75 and RMP 100; model year 2004-2009 RMA 103 and model year 2004-2010 TDA aerial fire vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with rotation interlock magnets that are attached by an adhesive. The adhesive degrades over time causing the magnets to detach.

Risk. Without properly positioned rotation interlock magnets, the aerial position cannot be properly tracked and if the outriggers are not fully deployed, the vehicle may become unstable, allowing it to roll over, causing personal injury.

Remedy. Spartan has notified owners, and the rotation interlock magnets will be secured using mechanical fasteners, free of charge. Owners may contact Spartan ERV at 1-800-867-6478, Option 2.

Filed Feb 11, 201320 vehiclesSpartan Erv

Defect. Spartan ERV is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 RMA 75, RMA 103, and TDA aerial fire apparatus manufactured from April 04, 2008, through April 13, 2010 and equipped with hydraulic extension and retraction cylinders produced by RamRod Industries. The cylinders on the affected vehicles may have welded rod eyes that were not properly heat treated during the manufacturing process.

Risk. An improperly manufactured rod eye end attachment may fracture or separate. In the event two affected cylinders are installed on the same aerial lift device, the aerial lift may retract without warning and cause severe injury and/or property damage.

Remedy. Spartan ERV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected cylinders, free of charge. The recall began on February 25, 2013. Owners may contact Spartan ERV at 1-800-867-6478, Option 2.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
