- What is wrong
- Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008, 2010, and 2011 gladiator, as well as model year 2010 metrostar vehicles manufactured from march 4, 2009 through february 22, 2011, and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
- Risk
- Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Spartan will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall began during march 2011. Owners may contact spartan chassis at 1‑800‑543‑5008, option 5.
