PARKING BRAKE
- The defect
- Marion Body Works Inc. is recalling certain 2024 Spartan Fire MetroStar vehicles. A defect in the inversion valve may delay park brake engagement, which could allow the vehicle to move unintentionally. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- Unintentional vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the inversion valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 11, 2024. Owners may contact Marion Body Works customer service at 1-715-754-5261.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V009000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Marion Body Works Inc. with NHTSA on January 8, 2024 as campaign 24V007000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
