The problem
On motor homes built on spartan chassis and equipped with detroit diesel series 40 engines, the turbocharger can fail allowing lubricating oil to spill onto the engine.
The risk
This can result in a fire in the engine compartment.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the turbocharger to prevent the possibility of an engine compartment fire. Spartan chassis is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners may contact spartan chassis at 517-543-6400 or monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
