Summary

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.

Consequence

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.

Remedy

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.

Notes

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.
