Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. "Spartan" is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Gladiator emergency vehicles manufactured October 22, 2012, to February 12, 2014. In the affected vehicles, a high pressure fuel fitting may make contact with the aluminum engine tunnel overlay causing the fitting to wear and possibly leak fuel.
