1995 Spartan Mountain Master problems

What is wrong

The eco-cruise actuator can bind the throttle.

Risk

If the actuator binds, engine speed may not decrease to the level anticipated by the operator, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will remove these actuators until new or remanufactured units can be supplied.

Recall number 96V201000 · Recall details

What is wrong

These solenoids can fail to operate or pass current. These solenoids are used to turn the power to the ignition bus bar(s) on the power panel(s) on and off.

Risk

Failure of a solenoid will cause the set of controlled devices not to function. Some of these devices are: cruise control, back-up lamp, anti-lock brake electr0nic control unit power; turn signals; heater/ defroster, and/or windshield wipers.

Remedy

Dealers will replace these defective solenoids with an "automotive controls company" solenoid.

What is wrong

Intermittent disruption of the functions controlled by the steering wheel center touch pad can occur caused by electrical shortage inside the steering wheel assembly. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 104, "windhsield wiping and washing systems;" and no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment."

Risk

Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can cause improper operation of the functions controlled by the touch pad. The function (1) fails to operate; (2) operates intermittently; or (3) operates unexpectedly, I.e. A function comes on without being switched on. Any of these could distract a driver increasing the potential for an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will repair the steering wheel center control assemblies to eliminate the electrical shorting.

Recall number 96V014000 · Recall details

What is wrong

When in operation, the pre-heater requires good engine ground. However, the alternators are not grounded through the case, limiting the ground for engine electrical components. The pre-heater amperage can then ground to the steel braided air compressor hose which is secured in a rubber lined clip. In some circumstances, the clip can contact the frame rail causing an arc.

Risk

This condition can cause a hole to be burned through the air line, preventing the air compressor from delivering sufficient air pressure to the braking system reducing brake capability and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will install a 6 gauge ground cable between the engine and the existing starter ground cable located inside the frame rail.
