2018–2019 Spartan K2 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Spartan Specialty K2 vehicles. The park brake systems on these chassis may not be able to prevent the vehicles from moving unintentionally if parked on a grade. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
💥 The risk
If the vehicle moves unintentionally while parked on a grade, it could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Spartan will notify the Entegra motorhome owners, and Spartan dealers will install new brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began September 11, 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 18023.
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.)
