What happened

Spartan Motors USA is recalling certain 2018-2019 Gladiator, MetroStar, K2, K3, and K4 emergency response chassis cabs and motor home chassis because the brake relay valve may have an air flow restriction. This restriction can result in an extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash, and causes the vehicles to fail to comply with federal air brake system safety requirements.

Spartan will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the affected chassis, and Spartan dealers will inspect and replace the valves as necessary at no cost to consumers. The recall began June 19, 2019. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008 and reference recall number 19012.
