## What is wrong

Spartan Fire, LLC is recalling certain 2019\-2022 Gladiator and MetroStar vehicles.  The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.


## What can happen

A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

On engines with 75 miles or less, dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes.  Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators.  Repairs will be performed free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed January 5, 2022. Owners may contact Spartan Fire customer service at 1\-517\-543\-6400.  Spartan Fire's number for this recall is 21017.
