What's wrong?
The cab tilt control module on the 2009-2010 Spartan Furion R/T is the electrical box that manages the cab tilt, or hoist, circuit. On this emergency rescue chassis, that circuit controls the powered movement that raises the cab for service access. The module is supposed to keep that movement under command, so the cab tilts only when the control is used.
On affected chassis, fluid can enter the control module. Once fluid reaches the internal wiring or circuit board, it can create an electrical short. That short can energize the cab tilt circuit without a driver, technician, or crew member using the control, causing the cab to tilt without warning.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing describes the cab tilt as happening without warning, so do not rely on a light, sound, or earlier movement to tell you the module has been affected.

What's the safety risk?
If the cab tilts while the vehicle is moving, the sudden movement can startle the driver and lead to a reaction that ends in a crash. If you feel or see cab movement, slow down safely, stop when safe, and arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Spartan dealer once available.
