2019 Spartan K2 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Spartans Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2019 Spartan K2 Specialty vehicles. The upper mounting fasteners for the air spring may protrude, possibly resulting in the air spring bag being punctured.
💥 The risk
A punctured air spring may deflate, possibly resulting in an overloading of the tag axle tires, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will replace air springs, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in October 2018. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 18028.
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.)
