What NHTSA recorded

On certain motor homes built on spartan chassis, the steering gear assembly contains a spacer with incorrect dimensions. A spacer of insufficient height allows for excessive play in the return function of the recirculation balls and, as a consequence, there is a failure in the circulatory function of these balls.

Possible consequence

If the failure mode is allowed to continue, the final result will be interruption in the connection between the steering wheel and the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle can no longer be steered and could result in a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Newmar is working with spartan to replace the steering gear assembly free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
