Spartan Motors is recalling certain model year 2008, 2009 and 2010 chassis to fix a problem with the pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake assemblies, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced today.
The affected MM, K2 and K3 motorhome chassis were manufactured between April 27, 2007 and Aug. 11, 2009. They are equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake pedal assemblies with part numbers 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-004. The parts were supplied by Kongsberg Automotive.
Some assemblies may contain a drive pin that is below specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the pedal from the remainder of the assembly. If the drive pin becomes disengaged on the brake pedal assembly, it could result in a loss of vehicle braking function or cause the brake pedal to interfere with the throttle pedal function. Either condition could result in a vehicle crash.
Spartan is working with Kongsberg and the vehicle manufacturers to remedy these motorhomes. The remedy will be performed by Spartan free of charge.
The safety recall is expected to begin Jan. 4. Owners may contact Spartan at 800.543.4277 and selecting Option 1. Owners should reference Spartan's recall No. 09027.
