  1. Fuses and circuit breakers (electrical system)

    NHTSA 04V035000 Reported 963 vehicles potentially affected WESTERN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, INC.

    On certain motorhomes, an incorrect 250-amp ground fuse was used to protect battery ground. The correct fuse was rated for 300 amps.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the 250-amp ground fuse with a 350-amp connector. 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…

    Model years: 1998, 1999

  2. Connection (steering)

    NHTSA 00V246207 Reported 860 vehicles potentially affected SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.

    Vehicle description: motor homes, transit and school buses equipped with trw drag links. Each drag link assembly contains two 20-edl model ball socket assemblies. Certain of the ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket.

    Remedy: Spartan customers are being notified to contact trw for the free remedy repair.

    Model years: 1999, 2000

  3. Quick release valve (service brakes)

    NHTSA 98V251000 Reported 1,237 vehicles potentially affected SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.

    Vehicle description: motor homes built with midland-grau tk-2 anti-lock brake system (ABS). Pressure differential problems between front and rear brake systems can result in braking timing issues which can create excessive front brake wear.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the quick release valve with a valve from another vendor.

    Model years: 1997

  4. Lamp (service brakes)

    NHTSA 98V173000 Reported 441 vehicles potentially affected SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.

    Vehicle description: motor homes, school and transit bus chassis equipped with pneumatically actuated braking system. The brake indicator light had the symbol but not the word 'brake' on it. This does not comply with requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the indicator lamp with a lamp meeting the requirements of FMVSS no. 105.

    Model years: 1998

  5. Vehicle speed control

  6. Connection (steering)

    NHTSA 96V081000 Reported 604 vehicles potentially affected SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.

    The draglinks have been equipped with an anti-tilt seal on the pitman end that can affect the taper fit of the ball stud taper into the pitman arm. The recommended torque on the stud nut does not overcome the compression of the anti-tilt seal.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace washers with 90 degree flanges with washers having a 45 degree flange and sandwich the rubber bushing in the anti-tilt seal. The flanges allow the bushing to properly expand. If a body has been…

    Model years: 1996

  7. Fuses and circuit breakers (electrical system)

    NHTSA 96V072000 Reported 741 vehicles potentially affected SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.

    These solenoids can fail to operate or pass current. These solenoids are used to turn the power to the ignition bus bar(s) on the power panel(s) on and off.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace these defective solenoids with an "automotive controls company" solenoid.

    Model years: 1995

  8. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

    NHTSA 96V014000 Reported 358 vehicles potentially affected SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.

    Intermittent disruption of the functions controlled by the steering wheel center touch pad can occur caused by electrical shortage inside the steering wheel assembly. This does not conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 104, "windhsield wiping and washing systems;" and no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment."

    Remedy: Dealers will repair the steering wheel center control assemblies to eliminate the electrical shorting.
