The DEF head sensor failed giving a warning that the engine would be derated if the engine was not shut off. The safety hazard with a derated engine is that 5 mph is top speed, not only endangering my vehicle, plus other vehicles near by. The head sensor was replaced by Cummins after purchasing a replacement tank with a new head sensor attached. The purchase was made from Spartan, the manufacturer of the Chasis. Individual head sensors were not available due to a nationwide shortage. I was first made aware of a problem when a DEF warning buzz…

DEF Head failure, SPN 1761, FMI 3. Bad tank level sensor, will cause derate of engine performance/speed/rpm in an unknow future time period. Will take the unit down to 5 mph with little notice. During this time the DEF pump and after treatment process is continuing with no environmental effects, this is only a tank level sensor failure, but the engine forces an eventual shutdown. At this time the tank level sensor is not a replaceable item, the whole DEF Head must be replaced at close to $1000. and now there is a national supply shortage of…

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. AFTER STARTING ONCE TO FILL AIR PRESSURE, TURNED OFF AND 1/2 HOUR LATER TURNED KEY TO ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON.

The rear bathroom window, on the left side (driver’s side), separated and fell off the coach. The incident was not observed in real time but discovered after a stop at an RV park. The window fell off somewhere along a busy Interstate. This is a potential hazardous if not life threatening condition. There is a recall for these windows (NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V529000), but apparently my coach was manufactured before the manufacturer complete day. Below is the details on that particular window: WINDOW,18X24 7690 BLK Lippert Components (LCI) p…

Having heard rumors for some time of the dreaded DEF shut down while using our motorcoach, without a recall of the unit , we have to assume the coach is safe to use. Ours had been parked in the storage building for about 10 days. Yesterday I went to get it out.When I started the coach it immediately turned on the check engine warning. It threw 3 codes, SPN#3374, SPN#3031, & SPN#1761. I’m told the engine will derate first by 25%, next it debates by 40%, then finally to limp mode of 5 mile per hour. If this had happened the week before I would ha…
