Recall Corner: December 2013

December 1, 2013

On the affected chassis, the shaft of the ball joint on the steering relay rod may contact the ABS valve if the valve is in an incorrect orientation and the steering relay rod is in the full forward position during full right or left turns. Excessive contact with the ABS modulator valve could fracture the valve, which could result in air not being supplied to the affected wheel end during a braking event. This may reduce stopping distance or cause the vehicle to pull to one side, which could result in a crash.

A Spartan Motors dealer will reorient the ABS modulator valve and install spacers for additional clearance.

For more information about this recall, contact Spartan Motors Inc. at (517) 543-6400. Owner notification was expected to begin in September 2013.


Winnebago Industries Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 13V400000 (Winnebago campaign 130), which involves model-year 2013 and 2014 Winnebago Aspect and Itasca Cambria motorhomes (models 730C and 730J) built from March 12, 2012, through May 31, 2013. The potential number of vehicles involved is 164.

On the affected motorhomes, the child seat tether is mounted in an improper position. This position does not allow the child seat to be used properly, and in a collision, it will not allow the child seat to properly protect the occupant, which may result in personal injury.

A Winnebago Industries dealer will remove the child seat tether, which is not required on these vehicles. The repair is expected to take approximately 45 minutes. However, because of service scheduling times, the service department may need the vehicle for a longer period of time.

For more information about this recall, contact Winnebago Industries Inc. at (800) 537-1885. Owner notification began in October 2013.

  • "We were stranded along a narrow road near Bryce Canyon, Utah. The location was not a good place for cellular service, but I was able to contact Roadside Rescue and arrange for a tow after driving our towed vehicle to the town of Bryce. I had to speak with several people at Roadside Rescue, but each person I spoke with was respectful and courteous. The tow was set up and our rig taken to a place that promptly took care of the repair and we were back on the road in 24 hours."⁠ ⁠ Michael & Lynn Noonan (F448134)⁠ ⁠

  • "Winter! Some love it, some hate it. Winter is a time when there is a stillness in the air but there is also a dryness which can lead to issues with our immune system. Couple that with shorter days, lack of sunlight (which can lead to low energy levels), layers of clothing to keep our skin from absorbing the nutrients of Vitamin D from the sun (crucial for maintaining a strong immune system), and lack of proper hydration due to not feeling thirsty (caused by to cooler temps and less perspiration); ALL of this can lead to our immune systems
  • It seems like a lifetime ago when COVID first took a toll on the world, but here we are a year later, at the beginning of the end of this pandemic.

It can be confusing for anybody, especially with how rapidly news changes and evolves.⁠ ⁠ RVers are in a particularly unique category of people because many of you do not have a permanent residence, or you spend long periods of time in states other than your home
