The problem

Spartan is recalling certain model year 2012 k2 and mg chassis manufactured from december 15, 2011, through january 31, 2012, and equipped with 3030 brake chambers. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 121, “air brake systems” because they do not meet the park brake and draw bar requirements.

The risk

The park brake may not hold the vehicle in place and if the vehicle moves, injury or property damage could occur without warning.

The fix

Spartan will notify owners and install improved brake chambers, free of charge. The safety recall began on april 19, 2012. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400.
