Service brakes, air: supply: quick release valveReported May 28, 2009 · 484 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Spartan is recalling 484 model years 2008-2010 adv, bey, fur, glc, gld, k2, k3, mg, mm, mtr, and nvs fire truck, ambulance, and motor home chassis manufactured between july 1 and december 16, 2008 equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
Risk
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Each vehicle manufacturer will provide a remedy plan and notification schedule. The affected vehicles will be repaired without charge to the owners. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or spartan chassis toll-free at 1‑800‑543‑4277.

Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakersReported August 15, 2007 · 1,672 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain motor home chassis, there may be a loose connection between the bus bar and a grid pad due to the pins being slightly smaller diameters after assembly. Electrical power may be lost to components of the major chassis operating systems (engine, transmission, starting, cooling) causing the vehicle to shut down and/or not be capable of powering up.
Risk
Each vehicle could potentially experience a unique circumstance where one or a combination of the following conditions could occur: loss of electrical power to the engine, transmission, starting and engine cooling systems, operation of the right chassis stop/turn signal and right trailer stop/turn signal, the anti-lock brake system, auxiliary brake system, the heater elements in the air dryer, and the heater element in the water-in-fuel separator.
Remedy
The dvec bussmann box will be replaced. The recall began on january 16, 2008. Owners may contact spartan at 1‑517‑543‑6400.
