What's wrong?
The suspension fasteners on the 2023 Spartan K2 are the bolts that clamp the front and rear suspension assemblies to the chassis frame. Those suspension assemblies carry road loads, keep the wheels located under the chassis, and support the motorhome body as it turns, brakes, and travels over bumps. The bolts have to hold that connection under high load.
On affected K2 chassis, the wrong grade bolt was supplied and installed in place of the required stronger bolt. Shyft traced the issue to Grade 8.8 M20 fasteners where Grade 10.9 fasteners were required. Engineering found the torque applied to the lower grade bolts put them at or near their yield point, so the bolt was stretched to the edge of its intended strength before normal service loads were added.
Occupants can hear a popping noise if a fastener breaks. The recalled bolts also have different markings on the bolt head than bolts that have already been replaced.

What's the safety risk?

Spartan reported all vehicles were repaired by November 21, 2022.
