Recalls- Steering column welds. NHTSA recall 10V288000 affects 340 vehicles. The weld securing the steering shaft tube may be mislocated, reducing strength and risking steering column separation. Owners will receive free repairs, and the recall started July 16, 2010.
- Vehicle speed control malfunction. NHTSA recall 11V516000 involves 1,294 vehicles. The cruise control may not cancel when applying the brake and may cause unintended moderate speed increases. This defect could reduce driver control and increase crash risk. Repairs are free beginning January 9, 2012.
- Front brake chamber interference. NHTSA recall 12V429000 impacts 491 vehicles. Brake chambers may contact suspension control arms, causing brake drag and potential overheating that could lead to increased braking force and loss of vehicle control. Repairs started December 5, 2012.
- Steering gear bracket cracks. NHTSA recall 13V182000 covers 2,694 vehicles. Mounting brackets may crack and detach, resulting in loss of steering. Spartan provides free bracket replacement or reinforcement with repair availability from mid-June 2013.
- ABS modulator valve fracture. NHTSA recall 13V392000 affects 113 vehicles. Contact with the steering relay rod may fracture the valve, causing reduced braking effectiveness or vehicle pull. Repairs began September 17, 2013, including valve repositioning and spacer installation free of charge.
- Front suspension sway bar failure. NHTSA recall 14V020000 involves 452 vehicles. Sway bar end links may bind and break due to suspension design, leading to poor handling and increased crash risk. Dealers replace end links and mounts free starting March 4, 2014.
- Flexible exhaust tube tearing. NHTSA recall 16V313000 impacts 2,582 vehicles. Torn exhaust tubes can direct hot gases to components or materials, raising fire risk. Spartan dealers inspect and replace tubes free since June 23, 2016.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, safety-related defects, or unresolved recall issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law and should consider consulting a qualified attorney to evaluate their case.

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.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. (Spartan Chassis) is recalling certain 2010-2014 model year MM motorhome chassis manufactured December 11, 2009, through January 30, 2013, and equipped with a sway bar and model 1253 front suspension. This front suspension design has increased rebound travel which may result in a binding condition of the sway bar end link which could lead to the breaking of the sway bar end links.
Risk: Broken sway bar end links may result in poor vehicle handling, or sway, which increases the risk of a crash.

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.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPARTAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 AND 2011 INCOMPLETE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE CHASSIS MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 4, 2010, THROUGH JANUARY 26, 2011, EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, PART NUMBER 2791-NN2E-001 OR 2791-NN2E-002.

ADDITIONALLY, THESE VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT AN INADVERTENT, MODERATE INCREASE IN VEHICLE SPEED UNTIL THE VEHICLES REACHES ITS GOVERNED SPEED AFTER THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL IS SET.
Risk: IF THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL BY APPLYING THE BRAKE OR IF THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASES AND THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE, THEY MAY HAVE REDUCED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
