What happened

Spartan is recalling certain 2008-2013 K2 and MM model motor home chassis equipped with Hendrickson independent front suspension because the front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm. This contact can damage the brakes and prevent them from fully releasing. When the brakes drag and heat builds up, they can self-engage, potentially causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

Spartan will notify owners and repair the affected vehicles at no charge. The recall began on December 5, 2012. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact Spartan at 1-800-543-4277, Option 1, to arrange for the free repair.

Details from the source

Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 K2 and MM motor home chassis, equipped with a Hendrickson independent front suspension. The front brake chambers may contact the upper control arm of the independent front suspension. Continued contact may result in damage sufficient enough to inhibit the full release of the brakes. If the brakes do not fully release, as they drag, heat could be generated causing the brakes to engage even further.
