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:
If the operator follows the incorrect directions and believes that the supplemental front park brake is applied when it is not, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of a crash. |
||
|
Remedy:
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. |
