What’s wrong with it?
THE REDUCED ENGAGEMENT OF THE COLUMN TUBING MAY LIMIT THE DRIVER’S CAPABILITY TO CONTROL THE STEERING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SPARTAN STEERING COLUMNS, THE STEERING COLUMN HAS AN INCORRECT BUSHING THAT DOES NOT PROPERLY LIMIT THE TRAVEL OF THE STEERING COLUMN.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
