Recall 96V-052: 1996 Spartan SB
SPARTAN MOTORS, INC. recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Mar 27, 1996, covering about 52 vehicles.
The problem
The fan clutch for the engine cooling system fan was combined with an inappropriate fan, which interferes with the drive and can cause the drive to separate.
The risk
If this condition occurs while the engine cover is open, a person working in the engine compartment of the vehicle could be struck by a portion of the fan clutch. If the fan clutch separates, the engine cooling system will not function properly.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fan which has a cupped mounting plate with a fan having a straight mounting plate. The fan clutch, which may have been damaged by interference with the fan, is being replaced with a new drive of the same model.
