Plain-English summary
Spartan Chassis, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 K2 recreational vehicles manufactured between September 30, 2010, and November 22, 2011. These vehicles are rated at 52,000 lbs and are equipped with 3030 brake chambers. The recall affects 35 units.
The vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 121, “Air Brake Systems,” because they do not meet the park brake and draw bar requirements. As a result, the park brake may not hold the vehicle in place. If the vehicle moves, injury or property damage could occur without warning.
Spartan will notify owners and install improved brake chambers free of charge. The safety recall began on March 12, 2012. Owners may contact Spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
