SPARTAN CHASSIS, INC. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Aug 15, 2007, covering about 1,672 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motor home chassis, there may be a loose connection between the bus bar and a grid pad due to the pins being slightly smaller diameters after assembly. Electrical power may be lost to components of the major chassis operating systems (Engine, transmission, starting, cooling) causing the vehicle to shut down and/or not be capable of powering up.
The risk
Each vehicle could potentially experience a unique circumstance where one or a combination of the following conditions could occur: loss of electrical power to the engine, transmission, starting and engine cooling systems, operation of the right chassis stop/turn signal and right trailer stop/turn signal, the anti-lock brake system, auxiliary brake system, the heater elements in the air dryer, and the heater element in the water-in-fuel separator.
The fix
The dvec bussmann box will be replaced. The recall began on january 16, 2008. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400.
