2004–2005 Coachmen Sportscoach Legend recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain motor homes built on spartan chassis and equipped with ametek ngi gauges. The air gauges are not properly calibrated and the low air warning indicator may be activated when actual air reservoir pressure readings are below the required range of 60 to 65 PSI.

💥 The risk

The low air warning alarm will sound, but there may not be enough time to react before the spring (park) brake engages, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Spartan is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400 or coachmen at 574-825-5821.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
