Summary of the Safety Concern:
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE HARNESS AND CABLES WERE ROUTED INCORRECTLY. SHARP CASTING EDGES OF THE TRANSMISSION LIFTING EAR CUT INTO THE CABLES OR THE WIRE HARNESS. |
||
|
Consequence:
SMOKE MAY OCCUR WHICH MAY NOT BE VISIBLE TO THE DRIVER AND AN ELECTRICAL SHORT MAY OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REROUTE THE HARNESS AND CABLES AWAY FROM THE TRANSMISSION LIFTING EAR, AVOIDING THE CASTED PART WHICH WAS THE SOURCE OF CHAFFING. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT SPARTAN AT 517-543-6400. |
