Issue
On certain fire trucks, a defect in the power steering pump could cause it to fail. If this happens, there could be a loss of power steering assist.
Safety Risk
A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
Spartan will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your fire truck to a dealer to replace the power steering pump.
