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.
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.
Fix: 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.
