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.

Spartan will notify owners and install improved brake chambers, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 12, 2012. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
