Recall 19V913000
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Defect Description
SVI Trucks is recalling certain vehicles built on 2019 Spartan Emergency Response MetroStar chassis. The brake relay valve may have an air flow restriction, which may result in an increased stopping distance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Safety Consequence
A longer distance needed to stop the vehicle can increase the risk of crash.
Remedy
Spartan will notify owners, and Spartan dealers will inspect and replace the valves, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008 or SVI Trucks customer service at 1-888-784-1112.
