Vehicle recall 95V064000 · March 27, 1995

Spartan IC Chassis and Mountain Master

When in operation, the pre-heater requires good engine ground.

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

Summary
When in operation, the pre-heater requires good engine ground. However, the alternators are not grounded through the case, limiting the ground for engine electrical components. The pre-heater amperage can then ground to the steel braided air compressor hose which is secured in a rubber lined clip. In some circumstances, the clip can contact the frame rail causing an arc.
Consequence
This condition can cause a hole to be burned through the air line, preventing the air compressor from delivering sufficient air pressure to the braking system reducing brake capability and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will install a 6 gauge ground cable between the engine and the existing starter ground cable located inside the frame rail.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
