Plain-English summary

Spartan Motor Chassis, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 MM, 2011-2014 K2, and 2010-2012 K3 motor home chassis. The recall involves 113 vehicles. The defect is caused by contact between the steering relay rod and the ABS modulator valve, which may cause the valve to fracture. This fracture prevents air from being applied to the affected wheel end.

This condition may increase the stopping distance of the vehicle or cause it to pull to one side. Either condition increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will reorient the ABS modulator valve and install spacers for additional clearance free of charge. The recall began on September 17, 2013. Owners may contact Spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
