Defect description

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling 2014-2017 Spartan Gladiator and MetroStar emergency response vehicles equipped with Hale pressure relief valves in the water pumps used for fire fighting.

A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
