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.

Steering

Summary
On certain motor homes and fire trucks, the steering gear assembly contains a spacer with incorrect dimensions. A spacer of insufficient height allows for excessive play in the return function of the recirculation balls and, as a consequence, there is a failure in the circulatory function of these balls.
Consequence
If the failure mode is allowed to continue, the final result will be interruption in the connection between the steering wheel and the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle can no longer be steered and could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the steering gear assembly free of charge. The recall began on August 23, 2007. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400.

Steering › Linkages

Summary
On certain motor homes, the i-shaft is the mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the steering gear. At the non-welded side of the i-shaft there is a universal joint. It is possible that the fork shaft connection could be lost.
Consequence
Drivers will lose steerability of the vehicle and a crash could occur without prior warning.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and repair the i-shaft. The recall began on August 15, 2005. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400.

Service brakes, air › Supply

Summary
On certain motor homes equipped with ngi air pressure gauges located on the dash panel is giving a false reading.
Consequence
This may cause the park brake to engage without warning, thus throwing the passenger forward, creating the potential for injury to occupants.
Remedy
Dealers will use a jumper harness containing a 33 ohm resistor which will shift the resistance curve of the air pressure sender to match the alarm point of the current gauge. The recall began on June 3, 2005. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400.

Power train › Clutch assembly › Pedal/hand lever(motorcycle)

Summary
On certain motorhomes equipped with caterpillar engines, the adjustable pedal return springs may return the pedal shaft to the home position while not fully returning the potentiometer key to its home position.
Consequence
In a neutral or no load situation: the engine will continue to increase idle speed until it reaces full governed rpm. The transmission will not allow shift from neutral to any gear over 900 engine rpm. In gear or under load: the engine may not return to 725 rpm (normal idle) which will require additional effort by the service brakes to overcome the additional engine rpm during braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the throttle pedal. The recall began on August 17, 2004, by phone calls. Owners should contact spartan at 517-543-6400.
