Spartan Recalls 2013 Motorhome Chassis Due to Brake Hose Damage Risk

Spartan Chassis is recalling 2013 K2, K3, and MM motorhome chassis because front brake hoses or ABS sensor cables may be damaged by the swaybar, potentially increasing stopping distances or disabling ABS.

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 structural vehicle defect affecting braking performance and ABS functionality, which increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Spartan Chassis, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 K2, K3, and MM motorhome chassis manufactured between July 23, 2012, and November 7, 2012. These vehicles are equipped with an independent front suspension that has the ABS modulator valve mounted in a forward position.

The recall is issued because the front brake hoses or the ABS sensor cable may be damaged as a result of contact with the swaybar. If the brake hoses are damaged, insufficient air may be applied to the front brake chambers, which can increase stopping distances. Damage to the ABS sensor cable may disable the anti-lock braking system. Either condition may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2012. Owners may contact Spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
