IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL โ€“ 19V-447

This notice applies to the vehicle identification number in the label below.

 

Dear Valued Customer,

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Spartan Motors USA, Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2012-2019 Walk-In Vans built on a MT45 or MT55 model chassis supplied by FreightlinereBay Custom Chassis built between November 17, 2011 and May 17, 2019.

What is the defect? 

The brake pedal clevis pin clip may rub or bend on the throttle pedal mounting hardware. There is a potential for the pin clip to become detached.

If the clip is detached and the clevis pins slides out of position, there will initially be a loss of brake lamps. If the pin continues to slide out further, the brake pedal may become detached.
