What is wrong
Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 school bus chassis manufactured December 21, 2010, to June 26, 2014, and equipped with air brake systems. The affected chassis may have been manufactured with the rear antilock brake system (ABS) harness connectors reversed.
What could happen
If the ABS connectors are reversed, the rear wheels may lock up while braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
