## What is wrong

Alexis Fire Equipment Company \(Alexis Fire\) is recalling certain 2021\-2023 Spartan Metro Star, FC\-94 fire trucks.  The tie rod clamps may have been improperly heat\-treated, causing them to fail and allowing the tie rods to separate.


## What can happen

Tie rod separation can result in a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace both tie rod clamps, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed December 6, 2022.  Owners may contact Alexis Fire's customer service at 1\-309\-482\-6121.
