Defect
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.
Safety risk
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.
