2005–2006 Spartan Mountain Master recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes, the harness and cables were routed incorrectly. Sharp casting edges of the transmission lifting ear cut into the cables or the wire harness.
💥 The risk
Smoke may occur which may not be visible to the driver and an electrical short may occur which could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will reroute the harness and cables away from the transmission lifting ear, avoiding the casted part which was the source of chaffing. The recall began on july 26, 2005. Owners may contact spartan at 517-543-6400.
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.)
