The defect
Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2002-2019 Pumpers, Tankers and Rescue vehicles built on a Spartan Motors chassis. The service brake air reservoir system may not be pressure protected where the control line for the automatic tire chain system is connected.
The risk
If the control line is cut, the service brake air system may suddenly lose air, increasing the risk of a crash.
