The short version

Spartan Motors, Inc. reported a problem with the service brakes, air. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

An incorrect value may have been used in the formula for calculating the sweep angle of the dial. This may have resulted in the accuracy of the gauge varying as much as eleven percent from the cutout pressure as opposed to the maximum allowable of +/- seven percent.

WHY IT MATTERS

In a condition where constant braking may be necessary, the air systems may deplete sooner than expected. This could cause the application of the spring brake without warning and may result in a vehicle crash.

WHAT TO DO

Spartan Chassis will notify owners and replace the affected guages with compliant ones, free of charge.
