2009 SPARTAN MM Complaints and Recall Information
The 2009 SPARTAN MM has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report no specific issues related to this model. The recalls cover various components related to steering, suspension, brakes, and the exhaust system.
There are six recalls affecting several critical systems of the 2009 SPARTAN MM chassis. These recalls address defects that could impair steering control, brake function, and increase fire risk due to exhaust system issues.
Recalls- Steering column welds. Recall 10V288000 affects 340 vehicles. The weld securing the spline tube to the intermediate tube may be mislocated, reducing structural strength. This could cause steering column separation and loss of steering control. Repairs are free and began on July 16, 2010.
- Front suspension control arm. Recall 12V429000 involves 491 vehicles. The front brake chambers may contact and damage the upper control arm, preventing full brake release. Dragging brakes can cause heat buildup and unintended brake engagement, increasing crash risk. Repairs started December 5, 2012.
- Air drum brake chamber. Also part of recall 12V429000 on 491 vehicles. The brake chamber contact can cause brake drag and potential loss of vehicle control. Spartan will fix affected vehicles at no charge.
- Steering gear brackets. Recall 13V182000 covers 2,694 vehicles. The steering gear mounting brackets may crack and detach, resulting in loss of steering. Dealers will install replacement or reinforcement brackets free of charge. Repair notices were mailed June 24, 2013.
- ABS modulator valve. Recall 13V392000 includes 113 vehicles. Contact with the steering relay rod may fracture the valve, reducing air to the wheel and increasing stopping distance or causing the vehicle to pull. Repairs began September 17, 2013, at no cost.
- Exhaust system tubing. Recall 16V313000 affects 2,582 vehicles. Flexible exhaust tubes may tear, allowing hot exhaust gases to contact other parts, raising fire risk. Spartan dealers inspect and replace tubes free of charge starting June 23, 2016.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects on the 2009 SPARTAN MM may have rights under their state lemon laws. Professional legal consultation can clarify those rights in cases involving serious or recurring problems.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
Spartan Motors (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 Spartan K3 and MM motorhome chassis manufactured September 21, 2006, to March 23, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the flexible exhaust tube may tear allowing hot exhaust to blow against other components or materials.
Risk: If hot exhaust gas contacts other components or materials, it can increase the risk of a fire.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
Spartan Motor Chassis, Inc. (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 MM, 2011-2014 K2, and 2010-2012 K3 motor home chassis. Due to contact with the steering relay rod, the ABS modulator valve may fracture resulting in air not being applied to the affected wheel end.
Risk: This may increase stopping distance of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

STEERING
Spartan Motors Chassis (Spartan) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 K2, and K3 and 2006-2010 MM motorhome chassis manufactured July 20, 2005, through December 17, 2010. The steering gear mounting brackets may crack and detach resulting in a loss of steering.
Risk: A loss of steering control may increase the risk of a crash.

491 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DRUM:CHAMBER
Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 K2 and MM motor home chassis, equipped with a Hendrickson independent front suspension. The front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension. Continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to inhibit the full release of the brakes. If the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further.
Risk: As the brakes self-engage, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

STEERING:COLUMN
SPARTAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2011 RECREATION VEHICLE CHASSIS MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 17, 2007 THROUGH MARCH 15, 2010 EQUIPPED WITH TRW IGEN3 INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMNS. THE WELD AROUND THE IGEN3 STEERING SHAFT TUBE THAT SECURES THE SPLINE TUBE TO THE INTERMEDIATE TUBE MAY BE MISLOCATED (I.E., NOT FULLY OVER THE SEAM CREATED WHEN THE TUBES ARE PRESSED TOGETHER.)
Risk: MISLOCATED WELDS MAY RESULT IN TORSIONAL AND AXIAL STRENGTH FALLING BELOW ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE STEERING COLUMN, LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
