Spartan front shocks may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension.
The short version
Spartan Motors USA reported a problem with the suspension front. Here is what owners need to know.
The front shocks may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension. The loose shock may contact and damage the steering gear housing, possibly causing a steering fluid leak and a loss of power steering assist.
A loss of power steering assist increases the risk of a crash.
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will install new shock bolts, and shims if necessary, free of charge.
