Transport Canada Recall - 2010450 - SPARTAN

Certain fire trucks equipped with a Ridewell Independent Front Suspension (IFS) cradle may be missing or have incomplete critical welds at the bell crank support brackets. Lacking or insufficient welds may lead to a complete separation of the bell crank support bracket from the main structure (cradle assembly). A complete separation of the bell crank support bracket(s) could restrict steering movement and result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Ridewell will inspect for missing welds. If cracks are identified the suspension cradle will be replaced. If no cracks are found the required welds will be applied.
