The short version
Spartan Motors, Inc. reported a problem with the visibility defroster/defogger/hvac system. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, the coolant return hose may kink at the bulkhead connector resulting in a reduction of coolant flow through windshield defrost system.
The lack of coolant flow may prevent the defrost and defog system from clearing the windshield, reducing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Spartan will notify owners, and UPS service centers will be paid to inspect, replace, and reroute the coolant hose, free of charge.
