What's wrong?
The inversion valve on the 2024 Marion Body Works Spartan Fire Metrostar is part of the air brake system that controls parking brake application. In a truck with air brakes, the parking brake depends on controlled air pressure changes to set the brake and hold the vehicle when parked. The valve's job is to route that air signal so the park brake engages when the operator sets it.
On affected trucks, the inversion valve is out of specification. Marion Body Works says the root cause remains under investigation, but the defect can delay park brake engagement. That delay means the truck is not fully held as quickly as expected after the parking brake control is set, which can allow the vehicle to move unintentionally.
The warning sign is audible. When the park brake sets, the operator should hear a clear sound that the brake has engaged. If that sound is missing after the control is applied, that is the warning sign described for this defect.

What's the safety risk?
Unintentional vehicle movement increases the risk of a crash or injury. When setting the parking brake, listen for the audible set confirmation. If you do not hear it, keep people clear of the vehicle path and contact the dealer before moving the vehicle again. Repair is free at any franchised Marion Body Works dealer.
