Electronic stability control (ESC)Reported October 13, 2011 · 799 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Spartan chassis (spartan), is recalling certain model year 2008 diamond, model year 2008-2009 furion along with model year 2011, model year 2010 furion r/t, model year 2007-2012 gladiator, model year 2008-2012 metrostar and model year 2012 spartan force emergency rescue transport vehicles equipped with an electronic stability control (ESC) manufactured from april 12, 2007, through september 30, 2011. The ESC module may cause the ESC system to activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions and may adversely affect the slip angle calculation by the ESC module.
Risk: This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the front axle outer wheel service brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable by the ESC. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Spartan will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on december 19, 2011. Owners may contact spartan at 1‑800‑543‑5008 option 5.
