What this recall means for you
On certain motorhomes built on a Spartan chassis with independent front suspension and front drum brakes, the cotter pins at the actuator rod of the front brake slack adjuster may be missing or improperly installed. If a cotter pin is absent or incorrectly fitted, the actuator rod can detach, which affects brake performance and lengthens the distance needed to stop the vehicle, raising the risk of a crash.
The recall repair is free. Spartan Service Centers will inspect the front brakes, install any missing cotter pins or properly seat the existing ones, and adjust the brakes as needed. Entegra will also notify affected owners directly. You can contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-517-9137 to confirm your vehicle is included, and you should check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
