COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Jan 8, 2004, covering about 2 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motorhomes built on spartan chassis, the angle of the hoses from the hydraulic pump could contact the positive stud on the starter.
The risk
This could result in close contact with the starter and cause ignition of hydraulic fluid which could result in injury and/or property damage.
The fix
Spartan is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will replace on vehicles with cummins isl engines and 39mt delco starters at least one of the 45 degree fittings with a 90 degree fitting and also replace the hose assembly.

Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact spartan at 1-219-825-5821 or coachmen at 1-517-543-6400.
