2000 Spartan Summit 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 01V-111: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with cummins diesel engines. The internal front bushing can spin, causing damage to the air compressor, and possibly to the spindle drive at the rear face of the air compressor which is used to provide power to the vehicle hydraulic pump. Failure of the air compressor's spindle drive could lead to loss of power assist if the hydraulic pump ceases to operate.
Risk: Without power assist, the vehicle becomes very difficult to turn and could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Cummins will notify spartan customers and replace the compressor free of charge. Owner notification began march 30, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact cummins customer assistance center 1-800-343-7357.
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.
