    Suspension / Front / Control Arm

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain motorhomes equipped with tuthill independent front suspensions, the defect is insufficient tightening torque of the steering knuckle carrier bolt that may result in separation of the steering knuckle from one of the control arms.

    Vehicle Speed Control

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain motor homes and fire trucks equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Williams controls is handling the replacement of this pedal. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or spartan at 1-800-722-3025.

  3. 02V018004Received . 750 units.

    Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Check Valve

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain motor homes and fire trucks equipped with meritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (ABS) valve packages, the assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Bolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected ABS valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. If air leaks develop at any of the ABS valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Meritor wabco will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact meritor wabco at 859-746-5956.
