Recall 09V-208: 2008–2009 Spartan FUR, 2008–2009 Spartan GLD and 1 more
SPARTAN CHASSIS, INC. recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Jun 9, 2009, covering about 75 vehicles.
The problem
Spartan is recalling 75 model year 2008 and 2009 gld, fur, and mtr fire truck chassis manufactured between january 29, 2008 and may 6, 2009, equipped with meritor wabco steering angle sensors (Sas). The sas can develop internal friction between the sensor gears and the sensor housing as a result of external forces experienced on the vehicle including vibration. If developed friction is great enough, the driving tab of the sas can shear as the driver turns the steering wheel.
The risk
With a broken sas driving tab, the electronic stability control (Esc) will not function properly, which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Each vehicle manufacturer will provide a remedy plan and notification schedule. The affected vehicles will be repaired without charge to the owners. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or spartan chassis toll-free at 1-800-543-4277.
