What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (steering column separation) that could result in loss of steering control and a vehicle crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Spartan Chassis, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 Spartan MM recreation vehicle chassis manufactured between June 17, 2007, and March 15, 2010. The recall affects 340 units equipped with TRW IGEN3 intermediate steering columns.
The defect involves a weld around the IGEN3 steering shaft tube that secures the spline tube to the intermediate tube. This weld may be mislocated, meaning it is not fully over the seam created when the tubes are pressed together. This condition could result in torsional and axial strength falling below acceptable levels, potentially leading to separation of the steering column, loss of steering control, and a vehicle crash without warning.
Spartan will notify owners, and the vehicles will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on July 16, 2010. Owners may contact Spartan Chassis at 1-800-543-5008, option 5, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
