SPARTAN GLADIATOR (2020) recall — Service Brakes, Air
Spartan recalls 2020 Gladiator vehicles with unsecured air brake lines that could cause sudden brake failure. Owners must have lines rerouted to prevent crashes.
Use caution until it’s fixed
Without the control line being pressure-protected, in the event the control line is severed, air may suddenly be lost from the service reservoir system, causing the brakes to apply unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
