⚠️ What's wrong

Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 MM, K2, and K3 motorhome chassis manufactured from april 27, 2007 and august 11, 2009, equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake pedal assemblies p/nos. 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-004, supplied by kongsberg automotive. Some assemblies could contain a drive pin that is below specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the pedal from the remainder of the assembly.
