Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary: Certain motor homes built on spartan chassis and equipped with ametek ngi gauges. The air gauges are not properly calibrated and the low air warning indicator may be activated when actual air reservoir pressure readings are below the required range of 60 to 65 PSI.
Consequence: The low air warning alarm will sound, but there may not be enough time to react before the spring (park) brake engages, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Spartan is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400 or coachmen at 574-825-5821.
Notes: Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Coachmen 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Coachmen dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
