SPARTAN issued a recall on the GLADIATOR, and METRO STAR models

On certain fire trucks, the restraint control module could malfunction and inadvertently deploy the frontal airbags, side curtain airbags and/or seatbelt pretensioners. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will install a transient noise suppression device to the restraint control module wiring harness.
