2000 Spartan SB recalls
Recall 04V-311: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Certain my 1999-2002 spartan summit motor homes, front engine school buses, and transit buses manufactured between february 25, 1999, and may 21, 2002, and equipped with dana front axle containing bosch hydraulic disc brakes with zero offset slide calipers (Zops). Bosch has decided that the presence of corrosion in the vicinity of the caliper seal land can contribute to reduced piston mobility in some cases and lead to performance issues causing overheating.
Risk: Overheated brake components may not allow the drive to stop safely, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. This overheating could also result in a vehicle fire.
Fix: Spartan will replace the brake calipers and pads. The recall began on january 24, 2005. Owners should contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400.
Recall 00V-246: Steering
Problem: Vehicle description: motor homes, transit and school buses equipped with trw drag links. Each drag link assembly contains two 20-edl model ball socket assemblies. Certain of the ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket.
Risk: This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
Fix: Spartan customers are being notified to contact trw for the free remedy repair.
