The defect
On certain motor homes 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 federal motor vehicle safety standard required range of 60 to 65psi.
The risk
This may cause the parking brake to engage without warning, thus throwing the passenger forward, creating the potential for injury to occupants.
The remedy
Spartan IS conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. dealers will install a harness jumper cable to each air sender. owners may contact spartan at 800-543-4277 or newmar at 574-773-7719.
