Recall 02V-004: 2001–2002 Spartan Advantage, 2002 Spartan Baron and 7 more
SPARTAN MOTORS, INC. recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Sep 19, 2002, covering about 535 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motor homes and fire trucks equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
The risk
If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Williams controls is handling the replacement of this pedal. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or spartan at 1-800-722-3025.
