Defect, in the NHTSA record

Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the APS is not engaged, there would be an increased risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Spartan Fire will notify owners and send a remedy kit with instructions and a jumper wire, free of charge. The recall began November 23, 2020. Owners may contact Spartan Fire customer service at 1-866-582-2376.

95E003014Received 13 Jul 1995. 10 units.
Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir. The air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. This pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.
Products named: Spartan Gladiator 1994; Spartan Silent Knight 1993; Spartan Gladiator 1995.
