What this recall means for you
Pressure can build inside the power steering pump and break its shaft seal. When that happens, the power steering assist is lost, so the steering becomes much harder to turn, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will install a new power steering pump at no charge. Spartan Fire will also notify owners directly. You can contact Spartan Fire customer service at 1-517-543-6400 with questions. Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
