The short answer

NHTSA received SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.’s report on Sep 22, 1994. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: BRAKING ABILITY INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES.

THE PRESSURE REQUIRED TO STOP THESE VEHICLES WITHIN THE REQUIRED STOPPING DISTANCE EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, “HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
