What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH NGI AIR PRESSURE GAUGES LOCATED ON THE DASH PANEL IS GIVING A FALSE READING.

THIS MAY CAUSE THE PARK BRAKE TO ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING, THUS THROWING THE PASSENGER FORWARD, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY TO OCCUPANTS.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL USE A JUMPER HARNESS CONTAINING A 33 OHM RESISTOR WHICH WILL SHIFT THE RESISTANCE CURVE OF THE AIR PRESSURE SENDER TO MATCH THE ALARM POINT OF THE CURRENT GAUGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 3, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SPARTAN AT 517-543-6400.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
