SPARTAN/GRANNING TAG AXLE
NHTSA #98V286000 · Suspension · NHTSA notice
Reported November 6, 1998 · SPARTAN MOTORS, INC.
Potentially affected: 39 vehicles
Owners notified August 16, 1999 · Vehicles built October 15, 1994 – October 15, 1994 (per NHTSA)
Defect description
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIRE TRUCKS. IF THE DRIVER ACCELERATES IN A TURN ABOVE 20 MPH FORWARD SPEED, THE LOCK PIN IS ACTUATED AND CAUSES THE AXLE TO RESIST RETURNING TO THE STRAIGHT AHEAD POSITION AFTER THE TURN IS COMPLETED BECAUSE THE LOCK PIN IS BINDING ON THE CLAMP PLATE SURFACE.
Safety consequence
ENGAGING THE LOCK PIN IN THE LCMP PLATE HOLE AT HIGH FORWARD SPEEDS CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE LOCK PIN AND/OR THE CLAMP PLATE HOLE. LANE CHANGES AND OTHER VEHICLE MANEUVERS WILL GREATLY INCREASE CONTACT FREQUENCY AND CAUSES WEAR, INCREASING THE RISK OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TAG AXLES ON THESE FIRE TRUCKS.
