2008 Spartan GLC recalls
Recall 09V-184: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Spartan is recalling 484 model years 2008-2010 adv, bey, fur, glc, gld, k2, k3, mg, mm, mtr, and nvs fire truck, ambulance, and motor home chassis manufactured between july 1 and december 16, 2008 equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (Qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
Risk: Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Each vehicle manufacturer will provide a remedy plan and notification schedule. The affected vehicles will be repaired without charge to the owners. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or spartan chassis toll-free at 1-800-543-4277.
