Spartan Fire, LLC "Spartan" is recalling one 2019 Gladiator firefighting vehicle equipped with battery-powered 3600 wireless remote controller units used to control the movement of electric firefighting monitors in firefighting vehicles. The monitor is used to direct the water stream and adjust the spray pattern. The wireless remote controller's sleep mode is disabled, resulting in the batteries discharging faster than normal.
Inability to use the wireless remote controller may hinder the firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
Spartan has notified the dealer that has the unit and will request that they return the affected wireless remote controller to Akron Brass for a software update to enable the sleep mode, free of charge. This recall began June 15, 2020. Owners may contact Akron Brass customer service at 1-800-228-1161 or Spartan customer service at 1-800-867-6478.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
