Year-by-year records
Recall history
3 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
98V157000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly
Reported: 1998-07-16 (July 16, 1998) · Model years: 1996
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CEMENT MIXERS. THE FUEL TANKS ARE MARKED AS A NON-SIDE MOUNTED APPLICATION AND SHOULD BE MARKED FOR A SIDE MOUNTED FUEL TANK.
Consequence: THE FUEL TANKS ARE INCORRECTLY MARKED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE 49 GALLON RECTANGULAR FUEL TANK WITH A 50 GALLON ROUND ALUMINUM FUEL TANK.
NHTSA campaign record ↗98V327000 · Structure
Reported: 1998-12-18 (December 18, 1998) · Model years: 1997, 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.
NHTSA campaign record ↗99V064000 · Suspension:Front:Springs:Leaf Spring Assembly:Hanger,Bracket
Reported: 1999-03-29 (March 29, 1999) · Model years: 1997, 1998
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.

Problems by model year
Model-wide comparison of the eight most reported components across the model. Cells show counts and shares within each model year. Open a cell for source examples.
| Component | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 |
|---|---|---|---|
| No usable records for this analysis. | |||
Darker cells indicate a larger share of submitted complaints. Components overlap. This measures complaint composition, not failure probability.
Failure mileage by component
Median and middle 50% of usable owner-reported mileages. Ranges require at least five records.
| Component | Mileage range (25th–75th percentile) | Median | Usable records | Examples |

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
1997: 0 complaints · 1998: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1997 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1998 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1997 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1998 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
