Spartan is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 MM, K2, and K3 motorhome chassis
manufactured from April 27, 2007 and August 11, 2009, equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic
adjustable brake pedal assemblies p/nos. 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-
004, supplied by Kongsberg Automotive. Some assemblies could contain a drive pin that is below
specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the
pedal from the remainder of the assembly.

If the drive pin becomes disengaged on the brake pedal
assembly, it could result in a loss of vehicle braking function and/or cause the brake pedal to interfere
with the throttle pedal function. Either condition could result in a vehicle crash. Spartan is working with
Kongsberg and the vehicle manufacturers to remedy these motorhomes. Please see recall 09E-064. The
remedy will be performed by Spartan free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before
January 8, 2010. Owners may contact Spartan toll-free at 1-800-543-4277 - Option 1. Spartan's
campaign number is 09027.

Fleetwood RV is recalling certain model year 2010 Jamboree Sport and Tioga Ranger 25G Class C
motorhomes manufactured between April 20 and December 7, 2009. The LPG supply line routed through
the rear wheel well may come in contact with the chassis spring assembly causing damage to the LPG
supply line. The damaged LPG supply line may result in a propane gas leak and could result in a fire.
Dealers will inspect the routing of the LPG supply line and reroute its location. This service will be
performed free of charge. The safety recall began on January 4, 2010. Owners may contact Fleetwood
RV at 1-800-509-3418.

Keystone is recalling certain model year 2010 Raptor fifth wheel trailers. The rear stabilizing jacks may
extend while driving due to exposed wiring on the extend/retract switch for the jacks. If the exposed
wiring is subject to road spray, it may activate the remote control panel and extend the jacks. If the jacks
extend while driving, it increases the risk of loss of vehicle control leading to a vehicle crash. Dealers
will replace the extend/retract switch with a sealed switch supplied by Keystone. This service will be
performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2010. Owners may
contact Keystone 1-866-425-4369.
