⚠️ What's wrong

Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Specialty K1 motor home chassis equipped with independent front suspension and front drum brakes. The cotter pins may be missing or improperly installed at the actuator rod of the front slack adjuster for the front brakes.

The recall began March 7, 2019. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 19001.

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.)
