The problem
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 k2 recreational vehicles manufactured from september 30, 2010, through november 22, 2011, rated at 52,000 lbs and equipped with 3030 brake chambers. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 121, air brake systems because they do not meet the park brake and draw bar requirements.
The risk
The park brake may not hold the vehicle in place and if the vehicle moves, injury or property damage could occur without warning.
The fix
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.
