Spartan is recalling 2012-2013 K2, K3, and MM motor homes because incorrect front wheel bearings may cause the vehicle to pull and potentially start a fire.

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 (incorrect wheel bearings) with an explicit risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.
