Defect

The esc module may cause the esc system to activate unnecessarily when the vehicle is driven in a particular manner on certain unique road conditions and may adversely affect the slip angle calculation by the esc module.
Safety risk
This might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the front axle outer wheel service brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable by the esc. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Spartan will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on december 19, 2011. Owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-5008 option 5.
