What's wrong?
The front sway bar on the 2015 Spartan Mm motor home chassis is a steel bar that helps control body roll at the front suspension. When the chassis turns, changes lanes, or crosses uneven pavement, the sway bar resists side-to-side leaning and helps the front axle stay planted. Mounting brackets hold that bar to the frame so the suspension loads move through the chassis as designed.
On affected chassis, the front sway bar mounting brackets are not strong enough for the road forces they face. Repeated twisting and impact loads from normal driving can crack or break a bracket. Once a bracket breaks, the sway bar can detach from the mounting frame, leaving the front suspension without that roll-control support.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not get a reliable light, sound, or handling clue before the bracket breaks, so the VIN decides whether this recall applies.

What's the safety risk?
A detached sway bar can let the vehicle sway more than intended, increasing the risk of a crash. This can happen without a warning sign, so avoid hard maneuvers, slow down if handling feels unusual, and arrange service promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Spartan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Spartan Mm is included in this recall.
- Wait for Spartan's repair instructions before scheduling service; the owner letter names the front sway bar mounting bracket repair.
- Contact Spartan customer service at 1-517-543-6400 if you do not have the owner letter or need repair-status guidance.
- Reference recall number 15V014 when you call Spartan or a franchised Spartan dealer.
- Avoid sharp maneuvers and leave extra space until the front sway bar bracket repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Spartan technician replaces the front sway bar mounting brackets so the sway bar stays attached to the mounting frame. Spartan's remedy text lists owner notice activity in 2015, including an interim notice on March 4, 2015 and a recall start date of May 15, 2015. Because Spartan has not marked the final repair as available, confirm scheduling with the dealer before planning a service visit. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered by the recall.
