The problem
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.
The fix
Utilimaster will notify owners, and dealers will install a new hydraulic brake line that will not contact the undercarriage ramp, free of charge. The recall began on November 25, 2015. Owners may contact Utilimaster customer service at 1-800-582-3454. Spartan's number for this recall is 15023.
