NHTSA recall 05V173000 · announced April 28, 2005 · filed by Coachmen Rv Company, Llc · 40 units affected

The problem

CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON SPARTAN CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH AMETEK NGI GAUGES. THE AIR GAUGES ARE NOT PROPERLY CALIBRATED AND THE LOW AIR WARNING INDICATOR MAY BE ACTIVATED WHEN ACTUAL AIR RESERVOIR PRESSURE READINGS ARE BELOW THE REQUIRED RANGE OF 60 TO 65 PSI.

The risk

THE LOW AIR WARNING ALARM WILL SOUND, BUT THERE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TIME TO REACT BEFORE THE SPRING (PARK) BRAKE ENGAGES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

What to do

SPARTAN IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SPARTAN AT 517-543-6400 OR COACHMEN AT 574-825-5821.
