The defect
Spartan Motors USA (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2012 Utilimaster Walk-In Vans manufactured September 26, 2011, to June 25, 2012. The affected vehicles have an undercarriage ramp that may rub against a hydraulic brake line.
The risk
Contact between the ramp and the brake line may cause a hole in the brake line resulting in a loss of brake fluid and lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
