Spartan Motors Inc. is recalling 212 2007-2015 model-year Advantage, Diamond, Gladiator and Metro Star emergency-response vehicles because of a problem that might lead to sudden tire deflation.
These trucks and chassis – built from Jan. 18, 2007, to Feb. 9 of this year – have front-wheel valve stems that may rub against the brake caliper, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. As a result, a hole may develop that causes a tire to deflate suddenly. This problem poses a crash risk.
