ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Overloaded electrical circuits can overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
Hinge pin separation from the hoist ring can result in hoist ring failure and increase the risk of injury.
An overheated load center can increase the risk of a fire.
A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose, and unintentionally engage the parking brake or activate the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
A loss of power to the pump control module can cause a loss of water pressure for fighting fires, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2020 SPARTAN FIRE METROSTARs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
