Summary:
      Spartan Motors USA "Spartan" is recalling certain 2008-2017 Gladiator and MetroStar emergency response vehicles equipped with a supplemental park brake system "SPBS". The directions to activate the SPBS incorrectly state to "Pull" the actuation knob, when it should say "Push."
Consequence:

      Spartan will notify owners and supply a new actuator control knob with the correct directions, free of charge. The recall began on May 22, 2017. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan's number for this recall is 17009.
