- The problem
- Spartan is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 gladiator fire apparatus class 8 vehicles manufactured beginning august 21, 2007 through march 8, 2010, equipped with detroit diesel series 60 engines. The engine may shut down unexpectedly when a diesel particulate filter over temperature condition is detected.

- Spartan will notify owners and detroit diesel will repair the vehicles free of charge by reprogramming the engine control logic to illuminate a malfunction indicator light without requesting engine shutdown. Please see daimler trucks' defect report 10e-005. The safety recall began on may 19, 2010. Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712 or spartan chassis at 1-800-543-4277 - option 1.
