What’s wrong with it?
If the fuel fitting leaks in the presence of an ignition source, there is an increased risk of fire.
Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc.
(Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Gladiator emergency vehicles manufactured October 22, 2012, to February 12, 2014.
In the affected vehicles, a high pressure fuel fitting may make contact with the aluminum engine tunnel overlay causing the fitting to wear and possibly leak fuel.
