The defect
Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. (Spartan Chassis) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 motorhomes manufactured January 28, 2010, through March 12, 2012; and equipped with Cummins ISC engines. The affected vehicles have radiator cooling fans that spin excessively fast resulting in the fan blades breaking without warning.
The risk
If this occurs while the hood is open, a person in the vicinity of the engine could be struck by the blade and injured.
The remedy
Spartan will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2013. Owners may contact Spartan Chassis at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan Chassis's number for this campaign is 13021.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
