Manufactured by: Spartan Chassis, Inc.
Affected Units:: 11
Recall Summary:
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks, the suspension had transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
How to Fix:
Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began on June 6, 2005. Owners may contact spartan at 1-800-543-4277, option 1.
