| Defect Summary | Spartan is recalling certain model year 2010, 2011, and 2012 recreational vehicles, models mm, k2, k3, bus, furion, gladiator, and metro star, manufactured from september 29, 2010, through june 20, 2011, equipped with a cummins isb, isc, isl, or isx diesel engine. the v-band clamp assembly, part numbers q187684, q187685, and q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (doc)/diesel particulate filter (dpf) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. a fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/dpf housing to disconnect. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. if both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 k2 and mm motor home chassis, equipped with a hendrickson independent front suspension. the front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension. continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to inhibit the full release of the brakes. if the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | As the brakes self-engage, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
