What is wrong

If the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further.

Remedy
Spartan chassis will notify owners, and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on Decenber 5, 2012. Owners may contact Spartan at 1‑800‑543‑4277 Option 1.
