- Summary
- Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with cummins diesel engines. The internal front bushing can spin, causing damage to the air compressor, and possibly to the spindle drive at the rear face of the air compressor which is used to provide power to the vehicle hydraulic pump. Failure of the air compressor's spindle drive could lead to loss of power assist if the hydraulic pump ceases to operate.
- Consequence
- Without power assist, the vehicle becomes very difficult to turn and could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Cummins will notify spartan customers and replace the compressor free of charge. Owner notification began March 30, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact cummins customer assistance center 1-800-343-7357.
- Notes
- Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Spartan been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Spartan dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
