Defect

Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2022 Gladiator and 2023 MetroStar emergency vehicles. After the vehicle is reversed, the transmission control module (TCM) may fail to achieve the 4th gear lockup needed to initiate the water pump.

Safety risk

A fire truck that is unable to pump water increases the risk of injury during a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will update the TCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 30, 2023. Owners may contact Marion's customer service at 1-715-754-5261.
