On certain motorhomes, incorrect front outer wheel bearings may have been installed during the assembly process. This may result in excessive movement of the wheel hub, which could cause the bearing to become overheated and worn. Bearing failure can cause a wheel-end fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Spartan authorized repair facilities will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front outer wheel bearings.
