1998 SPARTAN GA41L-3162 Recall

Campaign:

05V175000 on 04/27/2005

Component:

Suspension

Manufactured:

02/29/2004 - 11/17/2004

Affected:

11

Defect:

On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension had transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.

Consequence:

This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.

Correction:

Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. the recall began on june 6, 2005. owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-4277, option 1.
