ON CERTAIN FIRE TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH TIMONEY 22 INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSIONS, THE KINGPIN BALL PIN IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION CAN FRACTURE AT THE M35 THREAD AT THE TOP OF THE BALL PIN.
THE DRIVER WILL EXPERIENCE LOSS OF STEERING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE UPPER AND LOWER KINGPINS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SPARTAN AT 517-543-6400.
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…
THIS WILL CAUSE SPARKS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE AND CAUSE A FIRE.
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.
