Incident: February 23, 2022 · Filed: February 25, 2022

The contact owns a 1999 Spartan Chassis Mountain Master. The contact stated that while reversing to a parallel park next to a curb, he heard an abnormally loud sound coming from underneath the driver’s side seat. The contact stated that while driving the next day and attempting to make a right turn, the steering wheel was steered all the way to the right however, the vehicle failed to respond. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the driver's side front wheel remained straight forward while the passenger's side front wheel turned. The contact attempted to tow the vehicle for a repair; however, the towing technician informed him that the first lateral support beam had detached from the front driver's side frame, and towing the RV would further damage the front suspension. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 06V174000 (Steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The Spartan and Fleetwood manufacturers were notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.
