What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect could lead to reduced vehicle control and increased crash risk, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Spartan Chassis, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 incomplete recreational vehicle chassis manufactured between January 4, 2010, and January 26, 2011. The affected vehicles are equipped with specific electronic control modules (part numbers 2791-NN2E-001 or 2791-NN2E-002).

The defect involves the vehicle speed control system. When the driver applies the brake, the cruise control may fail to cancel. Additionally, after the cruise control is set, the vehicle may exhibit an inadvertent, moderate increase in speed until it reaches the governed speed. If the driver is unaware of the speed increase or if the brake fails to cancel the cruise control, the driver may have reduced control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Spartan will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on January 9, 2012. Owners may contact Spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
