The defect

If the control line is cut, the service brake air system may suddenly lose air, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Spartan will notify Custom Fire owners. Dealers will inspect the routing of the control lines, rerouting them into the auxiliary air reservoir as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact Custom Fire customer service at 1-715-294-2555. Custom Fire's number for this recall is 19V674.

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 19V764000.
