Spartan air brakes on these vehicles may have excessive actuation and release timing, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle.
The short version
Spartan Motors USA reported a problem with the service brakes, air. Here is what owners need to know.
The air brakes on these vehicles may have excessive actuation and release timing, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
If a longer distance is needed to stop the vehicle there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles with a new 3/8" control line, free of charge.
