What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Brand new tire blowout. I am very meticulous about tire pressure, as I check prior to every trip and morning. My coach also has tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) and pressure was perfect. Blowout has caused $15k in damages and 5 months of repair time.
The DEF system gave us a false reading and derated the engine to 5 miles per hour. We were able to make it to a repair shop and left it there.
70 miles north on highway 93 (2 lane 70 mph ) road def level light came on . Engine power reduction in 30 miles. I then called Spartin mgf. was told to find a rock and hit the top of the DEF head.?? Ok so i did lights went out and i went on 200 miles later lights came on again!
While driving 62 mph, the front driver's side tire blew out. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the tire split into thin layers. The tire was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle failure mileage was 22,800 and the tire failure mileage was 2,100.
Front tire blow out good year g670 295/80-22.5 unisteel. With out warning we had a blow out on the front passenger side while traveling on the nystate thruway the tire only had 21000 miles and it was in good condition. The blowout caused me to go off the road and had to be towed.
We have had 2 rv tire blowouts in the last 2 years. We have a 2014 motorhome that came from the factory with goodyear g670rv tires. Both front, passenger & driver tires, have blown out causing extensive damage to our coach.
My radiator started leaking with only 26,000 miles and no external damage. The leak was un-repairable and required that the radiator be replaced. There are many spartan chassis having the same problem, so spartan is obviously using inferior parts or an inferior manufacturing process.
Radiator failed after 3 years and 8 months and 49600 miles on the vehicle. In communications with other owners we have identified a large percentage of vehicles in this year that have experienced similar radiator failures around the same "time in operation".
