98V327000 · Structure

Reported: 1998-12-18 (December 18, 1998)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CEMENT MIXERS. ONE OR MORE OF THE FOUR CAB MOUNTING BOLTS CAN PUNCH THROUGH THE SHEET METAL FLOOR ALLOWING THE CAB TO DROP OR TILT AND THEN CONTACT THE STEERING MECHANISM.

Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN JAM THE STEERING MECHANISM PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM BEING TURNED IN ANY DIRECTION.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REINFORCE THE CAB FLOOR AT THE SUSPENSION POINTS; PROVIDE NEW CAB SUPPORT BRACKETS; AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SPACERS TO LIFT THE CAB HEIGHT IN RELATION TO THE STEERING GEAR.

Reported: 1999-03-29 (March 29, 1999)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CEMENT MIXERS. THE FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING HANGER MOUNTING BOLTS CAN LOOSEN WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE HANGER TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME. THIS, IN TURN, MAY ALLOW THE STEERING AXLE TO MOVE OUT OF ITS GEOMETRIC DESIGN POSITION.

Consequence: STEERING ABILITY MAY THEN BE SEVERELY RESTRICTED.

Remedy: SPARTAN HAS DEVELOPED RETROFIT KITS TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES.
