Spartan Motors park brake cable may be routed in a manner in which it contacts the rear hydraulic brake line.
The short version
Spartan Motors, Inc. reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.
The park brake cable may be routed in a manner in which it contacts the rear hydraulic brake line.
The contact may cause a hole may be worn into the hydraulic brake line which could result in a loss of rear brakes without warning. Loss of rear brakes would result in an increased stopping distance which may cause a crash.
Spartan Chassis will notify owners and dealers will properly secure the park brake cable so that it cannot rub against the brake line, free of charge.
