The hazard
On certain emergency vehicles, a software problem could cause the drive pump transfer case to disengage. If this happens, there could be a sudden loss of power to the wheels.
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. This could also delay emergency response and increase the risk of injury.
What to do
Spartan Fire will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle software.
